INTUIT INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Intuit Inc. provides business and financial management solutions for small and medium sized
businesses, financial institutions, consumers, and accounting professionals. Our flagship products
and services, including QuickBooks, Quicken and TurboTax, simplify small business management and
payroll processing, personal finance, and tax preparation and filing. Lacerte and ProSeries are
Intuits tax preparation offerings for professional accountants. Our financial institutions
division, anchored by Digital Insight, provides outsourced online banking services to banks and
credit unions. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, we sell our products
and services primarily in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Intuit and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and
transactions in consolidation. In December 2007 we acquired Homestead Technologies Inc. for total
consideration of approximately $170 million and in February 2008 we acquired Electronic Clearing
House, Inc. for a total purchase price of approximately $131 million. Accordingly, we have included
the results of operations for these two companies in our consolidated results of operations from
the respective dates of acquisition. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Superior Bankcard Services, LLC
(SBS), an entity that acquires merchant accounts for our Innovative Merchant Solutions business. We
are allocated 51% of the earnings and losses of this entity and 100% of the losses in excess of the
minority interest capital balances. We therefore eliminate the portion of the SBS financial results
that pertain to the minority interests on a separate line in our statements of operations and on
our balance sheets.
As discussed in Note 4, in August 2007 we sold our Intuit Distribution Management Solutions (IDMS)
business. In accordance with accounting rules, we have reclassified our financial statements for
all periods prior to the sale to reflect IDMS as a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise noted,
discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.
We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to
the current presentation, including amounts related to discontinued operations and reportable
segments.
We have included all normal recurring adjustments and the adjustments for discontinued operations
that we considered necessary to give a fair presentation of our operating results for the periods
presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read
together with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. Results for the three and nine months ended April 30,
2009 do not necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009 or
any other future period.
Seasonality
Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals businesses are highly seasonal. Some of
our other offerings are also seasonal, but to a lesser extent. Revenue from our QuickBooks software
products tends to be highest during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales of income tax
preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through
April. Seasonal patterns mean that our total net revenue is usually highest during our second
quarter ending January 31 and third quarter ending April 30. We typically report losses in our
first quarter ending October 31 and fourth quarter ending July 31, when revenue from our tax
businesses is minimal while operating expenses continue at relatively consistent levels. In
addition, the timing and composition of new customer offerings that include both product and
service elements can materially shift revenue between quarters.

Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
We compute basic net income or loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income per share using the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Dilutive potential common shares consist of the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
and upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) under the treasury stock method.
We include stock options with combined exercise prices and unrecognized compensation expense that
are less than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized
compensation expense that is less than the average market price for our common stock, in the
calculation of diluted net income per share. We exclude stock options with combined exercise prices
and unrecognized compensation expense that are greater than the average market price for our common
stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense that is greater than the average market
price for our common stock, from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their
effect is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that must be paid to exercise
stock options, the amount of compensation expense for future service that we have not yet
recognized for stock options and RSUs, and the amount of tax benefits that will be recorded in
additional paid-in capital when the awards become deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase
shares.
In loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are identical since the
effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance
for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors
requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and
liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value
measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value. This standard does not expand the use of fair value in
any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In
February 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, which partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for non-financial
assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an
entitys financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). In October 2008 the FASB
issued FSP 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset
Is Not Active, which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and illustrates
how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. On
August 1, 2008 we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 related to financial assets and financial
liabilities and to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that we recognize or disclose
at fair value on a recurring basis. We also adopted FSP 157-3 on that date. See Note 8. In
accordance with FSP 157-2, we have delayed the implementation of the provisions of SFAS 157 related
to the fair value of goodwill, other intangible assets and non-financial long-lived assets until
our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating these portions of the
standard and therefore have not yet determined the impact that their adoption will have on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial
assets and liabilities at fair value. The standards objective is to reduce both complexity in
accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related
assets and liabilities differently. The standard requires companies to provide additional
information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily
understand the effect of the companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires
companies to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has
chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The new standard does not eliminate
disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for
disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS
107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. On August 1, 2008 we adopted SFAS 159 but did not elect
the fair value option for any additional financial assets or liabilities that we held at that date.
SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141R will
significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas, including the
measurement of assets and liabilities acquired and the treatment of contingent consideration,
contingencies, acquisition costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In
addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income
tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will affect the income tax
provision. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, which
means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009. Early adoption is
prohibited. We are in the process of evaluating this standard and therefore have not yet determined
the impact that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority)
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for
business arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which
means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009. Early adoption is
prohibited. We are in the process of evaluating this standard and therefore have not yet
10
Table of Contents
determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
FSP SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets. FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This new staff position is intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period
of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R. FSP SFAS 142-3
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which means that it will be
effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating this
staff position and therefore have not yet determined the impact that adoption of FSP SFAS 142-3
will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
FSP SFAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business
Combination That Arise from Contingencies
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities
Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends SFAS 141R
to require assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from
contingencies to be recognized at fair value, as determined in accordance with SFAS 157, if the
acquisition-date fair value can be reasonably determined. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot
be reasonably determined, then the future settlement amount would be measured in accordance with
existing accounting rules. FSP SFAS 141R-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009. We
are in the process of evaluating this staff position and therefore have not yet determined the
impact that adoption of FSP SFAS 141R-1 will have on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
April 2009 FSPs on Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That
Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157 to provide additional guidance on estimating fair
value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased
in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments (FSP SFAS 107-1). FSP SFAS 107-1 extends the disclosure requirements of SFAS
107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to interim financial statements.
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP SFAS 115-2). FSP SFAS 115-2 provides new criteria for
determining whether an impairment of a debt security is temporary and recorded in other
comprehensive income in the equity section of the balance sheet or other-than-temporary and
recorded as a loss on the statement of operations.
FSP SFAS 157-4, FSP SFAS 107-1 and FSP SFAS 115-2 are effective for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ended after March 15, 2009.
Since we chose not to adopt these FSPs early, they will be effective for our fiscal quarter and
year ending July 31, 2009. We are in the process of evaluating these staff positions and therefore
have not yet determined the impact that their adoption will have on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments and Funds Held for Customers
We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of AAA-rated money market funds
in all periods presented. Investments consist of available-for-sale investment-grade debt
securities that we carry at fair value. Funds held for customers consist of cash and AAA-rated
money market funds. Long-term investments consist primarily of municipal auction rate securities
that we carry at fair value. Due to a decrease in liquidity in the global credit markets, we
estimate the fair values of these municipal auction rate securities based on a discounted cash flow
11

model that we prepare. See Note 8 for more information. Except for direct obligations of the United
States government, securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market
funds, we diversify our investments by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer.

We include realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities in interest and
other income in our statements of operations. Gross realized gains and losses on our
available-for-sale debt securities for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were
not significant.
We accumulate unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, in
accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders equity section of our balance sheets.
Gross unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities were as follows at the
dates indicated.

We periodically review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is
other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation
concerns. We believe that the investments we held at April 30, 2009 were not other-than-temporarily
impaired. While certain available-for-sale debt securities have fair values that are below cost, we
believe that because we have the ability and intent to hold them until recovery at par it is
probable that principal and interest will be collected in accordance with contractual terms. We
believe that the

unrealized losses at April 30, 2009 are due to changes in interest rates,
including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with the specific
securities.

3. Comprehensive Net Income (Loss)
SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive net income (loss) and its components in stockholders equity. SFAS 130 requires that
the components of other comprehensive income (loss), such as changes in the fair value of
available-for-sale debt securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, be added to our
net income to arrive at comprehensive net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) items have no
impact on our net income as presented in our statements of operations.
The components of comprehensive net income, net of income taxes, were as shown in the following
table for the periods indicated. The realized gain on derivative instruments relates to two
interest rate swaps that we entered into in December 2006 and settled in March 2007 in connection
with the senior notes described in Note 7. We are amortizing the realized gain to interest expense
over the term of the related notes.

4. Dispositions and Discontinued Operations
Intuit Distribution Management Solutions Discontinued Operations
In August 2007 we sold our Intuit Distribution Management Solutions (IDMS) business for
approximately $100 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $27.5 million. IDMS was
part of our Other Businesses segment.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, we determined that IDMS became a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007. We have therefore segregated the net assets and operating results of IDMS from
continuing operations on our balance sheets and in our statements of operations for all periods
prior to the sale. Revenue and net loss from IDMS discontinued operations for the nine months ended
April 30, 2008 were not significant. Because IDMS operating cash flows were not material for any
period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash
flows. We have presented the effect of the gain on disposal of IDMS on our statement of cash flows
for the nine months ended April 30, 2008.
Sale of Outsourced Payroll Assets
In March 2007 we sold certain assets related to our Complete Payroll and Premier Payroll Service
businesses to Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) for a price of up to approximately $135 million
in cash. The final purchase price was contingent upon the number of customers that transitioned to
ADP pursuant to the purchase agreement over a period of approximately one year from the date of
sale. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 we recorded pre-tax gains of $13.6 million
and $51.6 million on our statement of operations for customers who transitioned to ADP during those
periods. We received a total purchase price of $93.6 million and recorded a total pre-tax gain of
$83.2 million from the inception of this transaction through its completion in the third quarter of
fiscal 2008.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, we did not account for this transaction as a discontinued operation because the
operations and cash flows of the assets could not be clearly distinguished, operationally or for
financial reporting purposes, from the rest of our outsourced payroll business. The assets were
part of our Payroll and Payments segment.
5. Industry Segment and Geographic Information
SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes
standards for the way in which public companies disclose certain information about operating
segments in their financial reports. Consistent with SFAS 131, we have defined six reportable
segments, described below, based on factors such as how we manage our operations and how our chief
operating decision maker views results. We define the chief operating decision maker as our chief
executive officer and our chief financial officer. Our chief operating decision maker organizes and
manages our business primarily on the basis of product and service offerings. We have aggregated
two operating segments to form our Payroll and Payments reportable segment.
QuickBooks product revenue is derived primarily from QuickBooks desktop software products and
financial supplies such as paper checks, envelopes, invoices, business cards and business
stationery. QuickBooks service and other revenue is derived primarily from QuickBooks Online,
QuickBooks support plans, Web site design and hosting services for small businesses, and royalties
from small business online services.
Payroll and Payments product revenue is derived primarily from QuickBooks Payroll, a family of
products sold on a subscription basis offering payroll tax tables, federal and state payroll tax
forms, and electronic tax payment and filing to small businesses that prepare their own payrolls.
Payroll and Payments service and other revenue is derived from small business payroll services as
well as from merchant services provided by our Innovative Merchant Solutions business that include
credit and debit card processing, electronic check conversion and automated clearing house
services. Service and other revenue for this segment also includes interest earned on funds held
for payroll customers.
14
Table of Contents
Consumer Tax product revenue is derived primarily from TurboTax federal and state consumer and
small business desktop tax return preparation software. Consumer Tax service and other revenue is
derived primarily from TurboTax Online tax return preparation services and electronic filing
services.
Accounting Professionals product revenue is derived primarily from Lacerte and ProSeries
professional tax preparation software products and from QuickBooks Premier Accountant Edition and
ProAdvisor Program for professional accountants. Accounting Professionals service and other revenue
is derived primarily from electronic filing services, bank product transmission services and
training services.
Financial Institutions service and other revenue is derived primarily from outsourced online
banking software products that are hosted in our data centers and delivered as on-demand service
offerings to banks and credit unions by our Digital Insight business.
Our Other Businesses segment consists primarily of Quicken, Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES), and our business in Canada. Quicken product revenue is derived primarily from Quicken desktop software products. Quicken service and other revenue is derived primarily from Quicken Online and fees from consumer online transactions. IRES product revenue is derived primarily from property management software licenses. Service and other revenue in our IRES business consists primarily of revenue from support plans, hosting services and professional services. In Canada, product revenue is derived primarily from localized versions of QuickBooks and Quicken as well as consumer desktop tax return preparation software and professional tax preparation products. Service and other revenue in Canada consists primarily of revenue from payroll services and QuickBooks support plans.

Service and other revenue in Canada consists primarily of revenue from payroll services and QuickBooks support plans.
Our QuickBooks, Payroll and Payments, Consumer Tax, Accounting Professionals and Financial
Institutions segments operate primarily in the United States. All of our segments sell primarily to
customers located in the United States. International total net revenue was less than 5% of
consolidated total net revenue for all periods presented.
We include costs such as corporate selling and marketing, product development, and general and
administrative expenses and share-based compensation expenses that are not allocated to specific
segments in a category we call Corporate. The Corporate category also includes amortization of
purchased intangible assets, acquisition-related charges, interest expense, interest and other
income, and realized net gains or losses on marketable equity securities and other investments.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary
of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. Except for goodwill and purchased intangible
assets, we do not generally track assets by reportable segment and, consequently, we do not
disclose total assets by reportable segment.

6. Current Liabilities
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On March 22, 2007 we entered into an agreement with certain institutional lenders for a $500
million unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire on March 22, 2012. Advances under the
credit facility will accrue interest at rates that are equal to, at our election, either Citibanks
base rate or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin that ranges from 0.18% to
0.575% based on our senior debt credit ratings. The applicable interest rate will be increased by
0.05% for any period in which the total principal amount of advances and letters of credit under
the credit facility exceeds $250 million. The agreement includes covenants that require us to
maintain a ratio of total debt to annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and a ratio of annual EBITDA to interest
payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with these covenants at April 30,
2009. We may use amounts borrowed under this credit facility for general corporate purposes or for
future acquisitions or expansion of our business. To date we have not borrowed under this credit
facility.

7. Long-Term Obligations
Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 12, 2007 we issued $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012 and
$500 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2017 (together, the Notes), for a
total principal amount of $1 billion. The Notes are redeemable by Intuit at any time, subject to a
make-whole premium. We paid $55.8 million and $56.2 million in cash for interest on the Notes
during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008. Based on the trading prices of the Notes at
April 30 and July 31, 2008 and the interest rates we could obtain for other borrowings with similar
terms at those dates, the estimated fair value of the Notes at those dates was approximately $903.0
million and $964.7 million.

Innovative Merchant Solutions Loan and Buyout Commitments
In April 2005 our wholly owned subsidiary, Innovative Merchant Solutions (IMS), became a member of
Superior Bankcard Services, LLC (SBS), a newly formed entity that acquires merchant accounts for
IMS. Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of SBS, after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions,
including amounts outstanding under the credit agreement described below. See Note 1. In connection
with the formation of this entity IMS agreed to provide to SBS revolving loans in an amount of up
to $40.0 million under the terms of a credit agreement. The credit agreement expires in July 2013,
although certain events, such as a sale of SBS, can trigger earlier termination. Amounts
outstanding under this agreement at April 30, 2009 totaled $7.4 million at interest rates of 4.3%
to 6.0%. Amounts outstanding under this agreement at July 31, 2008 totaled $8.5 million at interest
rates of 6.0% to 8.5%. There are no scheduled repayments on the outstanding loan balance. All
unpaid principal amounts and the related accrued interest are due and payable in full at the loan
expiration date.
The operating agreement of SBS requires that, no later than July 2009, either IMS agree to purchase
the minority members interests in SBS at a price to be set by negotiation or arbitration, or IMS
and the minority members pursue a sale of their interests in SBS to a third party.
8. Fair Value Measurements
As discussed in Note 1, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, on August 1, 2008 we adopted SFAS 157,
Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities and for non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities that we recognize or disclose at fair value on a recurring
basis (at least annually). As of the date of adoption, these consisted of cash equivalents,
available-for-sale debt securities and long-term debt. On August 1, 2008 we also adopted FSP 157-3,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.
This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity
would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. In accordance with
FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, we have not yet adopted the provisions of
SFAS 157 that relate to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that we do not recognize
or disclose at fair value on a recurring basis. These include reporting units measured at fair
value in a goodwill impairment test and non-financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid
to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS
157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of
judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.
| Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 assets consist of cash equivalents, including funds held for customers, that are invested primarily in AAA-rated money market funds. | ||
| Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities |
19
Table of Contents
in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. Our Level 2 assets consist of municipal bonds, U.S. agency securities and corporate notes that we classify as available-for-sale securities. Our Level 2 liabilities consist of long-term debt that is model priced by third parties using observable inputs. | |||
| Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, and significant management judgment or estimation. Our Level 3 assets consist of municipal auction rate securities. |
The following table presents financial assets and financial liabilities that we measured at fair
value on a recurring basis at April 30, 2009. We have classified these assets and liabilities in
accordance with the fair value hierarchy set forth in SFAS 157. In instances where the inputs used
to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into more than one level of the fair value
hierarchy, we have classified them based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
determination of the fair value.

Table of Contents
Financial assets whose fair values we measure using Level 3 inputs consisted of municipal auction
rate securities that we classified as long-term investments on our balance sheet at April 30, 2009.
At that date all of the municipal auction rate securities we held were rated A or better by the
major credit rating agencies and 82% were collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S.
Department of Education. These securities are long-term debt instruments that are intended to
provide liquidity through a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at
pre-determined intervals, typically every 35 days. Due to a decrease in liquidity in the global
credit markets, in February 2008 auctions began failing for the municipal auction rate securities
we held. Regularly scheduled auctions for these securities have generally continued to fail since
that time. When these auctions initially failed, higher interest rates for many of the securities
went into effect in accordance with the terms of the prospectus for each security. As of April 30,
2009, we had received all interest payments in accordance with the contractual terms of these
securities.
We estimated the fair values of the municipal auction rate securities we held at April 30, 2009
based on a discounted cash flow model that we prepared. Key inputs to our discounted cash flow
model included the projected future interest rates; the likely timing of principal repayments; the
probability of full repayment considering guarantees by the U.S. Department of Education of the
underlying student loans or insurance by other third parties; publicly available pricing data for
recently issued student loan backed securities that are not subject to auctions; and the impact of
the reduced liquidity for auction rate securities. The following table presents information about
significant inputs to our discounted cash flow model at the dates shown:

Using our discounted cash flow model we determined that the fair values of the municipal auction
rate securities we held at April 30, 2009 were approximately equal to their par values. As a
result, we recorded no decrease in the fair values of those securities for the nine months then
ended. Based on our ability and intent to hold these auction rate securities until recovery at par,
we classified them as long-term investments on our balance sheet at April 30, 2009.
In August 2008 the broker-dealers for our municipal auction rate securities announced settlements
under which they may provide liquidity solutions, or purchase, the auction rate securities held by
their institutional clients. On November 4, 2008 we accepted an offer from UBS AG (UBS), one of the
broker-dealers for our municipal auction rate securities, that gives us the option to sell UBS a
total of $145.9 million in municipal auction rate securities at par value at any time during a
two-year period beginning June 30, 2010. The put option also gives UBS the discretion to buy any or
all of these securities from us at par value at any time. To date UBS has not purchased any of
these securities from us. We chose not to elect the fair value option under SFAS 159 for the put
option at the time we accepted the UBS offer. We accounted for the put option at its cost of zero
on November 4, 2008, the date that we entered into the agreement, because we considered the value
of the securities subject to the put option to be substantially equal to their par values at that
date. The put option is considered to be a separate and freestanding financial instrument between
UBS and Intuit because it is non-transferable and could not be attached to the related auction rate
securities if they were to be sold to a third party. Since the put option is freestanding, we did
not consider the option when estimating the fair value of the UBS auction rate securities we held
at April 30, 2009.
Based on our expected operating cash flows and our other sources of cash, we do not believe that
the reduction in liquidity of our municipal auction rate securities will have a material impact on
our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs.

9. Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
We compute our provision for or benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual
effective tax rate to income or loss from recurring operations and other taxable items. Our
effective tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately 36% and
35% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 was approximately 33%. Excluding
discrete tax benefits primarily related to a favorable agreement we entered into with a tax
authority and the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit, our
effective tax rate for that period was approximately 36% and did not differ significantly from the
federal statutory rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was
approximately 35% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other FASB Interpretation No. 48 Considerations
The total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2008 was $44.8 million. Net of
related deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits were $34.0 million at that date. If we were
to recognize these net benefits, our income tax expense would reflect a favorable net impact of
$18.8 million. The recognition of the balance of these net benefits would result in an increase to
stockholders equity of $5.5 million and a decrease to goodwill of $9.7 million. There were no
material changes to these amounts during the nine months ended April 30, 2009. We do not believe
that it is reasonably possible that there will be a significant increase or decrease in
unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.
The accounting treatment related to the realization of pre-acquisition unrecognized tax benefits
will change when SFAS 141R becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. While any
realization of these unrecognized tax benefits prior to the effective date of SFAS 141R will result
in a decrease to goodwill, any realization after the effective date will result in a reduction to
income tax expense. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for
income taxes. At July 31, 2008, we had accrued $4.9 million for the payment of interest and had no
accruals for the payment of penalties. The amount of interest and penalties recognized during the
nine months ended April 30, 2009 was not significant.
10. Stockholders Equity
Stock Repurchase Programs
Intuits Board of Directors has authorized a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of
common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. We repurchased no shares
under these programs during the three months ended April 30, 2009. We repurchased 7.4 million
shares for $200.3 million under these programs during the nine months ended April 30, 2009. We
repurchased 10.8 million and 27.2 million shares for $300.0 million and $800.0 million under these
programs during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008. At April 30, 2009, we had
authorization from our Board of Directors to expend up to an additional $400 million for stock
repurchases through May 15, 2011.
Repurchased shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares until they are reissued or
retired. When we reissue treasury stock, if the proceeds from the sale are more than the average
price we paid to acquire the shares we record an increase in additional paid-in capital.
Conversely, if the proceeds from the sale are less than the average price we paid to acquire the
shares, we record a decrease in additional paid-in capital to the extent of increases previously
recorded for similar transactions and a decrease in retained earnings for any remaining amount.

At April 30, 2009, there was $231.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans which
we expect to recognize as expense in the future. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be
adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. We expect to recognize that cost over a
weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years.
11. Litigation
Intuit is subject to certain routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened
litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions that we may be
infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We currently believe that the
ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (either alone or combined)
will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an
adverse impact on Intuit because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management
resources and other factors. Our failure to obtain necessary license or other rights, or litigation
arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect our business.
12. Subsequent Event
On May 14, 2009, we entered into an agreement to license certain technology for total consideration
of $120 million payable over the next ten fiscal years. Using currently available information, we
estimated the total present value of this arrangement to be approximately $89.2 million. We
determined that approximately $78.6 million of this amount is related to future licensing rights
and we expect to record an asset for that amount in the three months ending July 31, 2009. We will
amortize the asset on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the technology,
primarily to cost of revenue in our statements of operations. We accrued the estimated remaining
cost of $10.6 million, which we determined was related to the historical use of licensing rights,
in accounts payable on our balance sheet at April 30, 2009 and recorded a corresponding charge to
cost of service and other revenue in our statements of operations for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2009. We may adjust our preliminary estimate of the total present value of the
arrangement or the allocation of the total present value between future licensing rights and the
historical use of licensing rights after obtaining more information regarding, among other things,
the licensing rights and our expected use of those rights in our current and future products and
services. We expect to finalize our valuation of the licensing rights during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)
includes the following sections:
| Executive Overview that discusses at a high level our operating results and some of the trends that affect our business. | ||
| Significant changes since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments underlying our financial statements. | ||
| Results of Operations that includes a more detailed discussion of our revenue and expenses. | ||
| Liquidity and Capital Resources which discusses key aspects of our statements of cash flows, changes in our balance sheets and our financial commitments. |
You should note that this MD&A discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. Please see Item 1A in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
important information to consider when evaluating such statements.
You should read this MD&A in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in Part I,
Item 1 of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
In December 2007 we acquired Homestead Technologies Inc. for total consideration of approximately
$170 million and in February 2008 we acquired Electronic Clearing House, Inc. for a total purchase
price of approximately $131 million. Accordingly, we have included the results of operations for
these two companies in our consolidated results of operations from their respective dates of
acquisition. We also sold our Intuit Distribution Management Solutions business in August 2007 for
approximately $100 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $27.5 million. We
accounted for this business as a discontinued operation and have accordingly reclassified our
statements of operations for all periods prior to the sale. Unless otherwise noted, the following
discussion pertains only to our continuing operations.
Executive Overview
This overview provides a high level discussion of our operating results and some of the trends that
affect our business. We believe that an understanding of these trends is important in order to
understand our financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 as well
as our future prospects. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a
substitute for the detailed discussion and analysis provided elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
About Intuit
Intuit is a leading provider of business and financial management solutions for small and medium
sized businesses, financial institutions, consumers and accounting professionals. We organize our
portfolio of businesses into four principal categories Small Business, Tax, Financial
Institutions and Other Businesses. These categories include six financial reporting segments.
Small Business: This category includes two segments QuickBooks, and Payroll and Payments.
| Our QuickBooks segment includes QuickBooks financial and business management software and services, technical support, financial supplies, and Web site design and hosting services for small businesses. | ||
| Our Payroll and Payments segment includes small business payroll products and services. This segment also includes merchant services provided by our Innovative Merchant Solutions business that include credit and debit card processing, electronic check conversion and automated clearing house services. |
Tax: This category also includes two segments Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals.
| Our Consumer Tax segment includes TurboTax income tax preparation products and services for consumers and small businesses. | ||
| Our Accounting Professionals segment includes Lacerte and ProSeries professional tax products and services. This segment also includes QuickBooks Premier Accountant Edition and the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program for accounting professionals. |
25
Table of Contents
Financial Institutions: This segment consists primarily of outsourced online banking services for
banks and credit unions provided by our Digital Insight business.
Other Businesses: This segment includes Quicken personal finance products and services, Intuit
Real Estate Solutions, and our business in Canada.
Seasonality and Trends
Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals businesses are highly seasonal. Some of
our other offerings are also seasonal, but to a lesser extent. Revenue from our QuickBooks software
products tends to be highest during our second and third fiscal quarters. Sales of income tax
preparation products and services are heavily concentrated in the period from November through
April. In our Consumer Tax business, a greater proportion of our revenue has been occurring later
in this seasonal period due in part to the growth in sales of TurboTax Online, for which revenue is
recognized upon printing or electronic filing of a tax return. Delays in the availability of tax
forms from taxing agencies or the ability of those agencies to receive submissions can cause
Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals revenue to shift from our second fiscal quarter to our
third fiscal quarter. Seasonal patterns mean that our total net revenue is usually highest during
our second quarter ending January 31 and third quarter ending April 30. We typically report losses
in our first quarter ending October 31 and fourth quarter ending July 31, when revenue from our tax
businesses is minimal while operating expenses continue at relatively consistent levels. We believe
the seasonality of our revenue is likely to continue in the future. In addition, the timing and
composition of new customer offerings that include both product and service elements can materially
shift revenue between quarters. In our MD&A we often focus on year-to-date results for our seasonal
businesses as they are generally more meaningful than quarterly results.
Overview of Financial Results
Total net revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was $2.7 billion, an increase of 4%
compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2008. QuickBooks segment revenue decreased 2%,
Payroll and Payments segment revenue increased 14%, Consumer Tax revenue increased 7%, Accounting
Professionals revenue increased 8%, Financial Institutions revenue increased 4% and Other
Businesses revenue decreased 11%.
The increase in Consumer Tax revenue was due to growth in TurboTax Online units, which more than
offset a decrease in TurboTax desktop units. Payroll and Payments revenue was higher due to price
increases and growth in the customer base, and Accounting Professionals revenue was higher due to
price increases. We believe that slower small business spending negatively affected sales to new
QuickBooks customers and the overall reduction in consumer spending negatively affected credit and
debit card transaction processing volume in our Payments business as well as Quicken sales in our
Other Businesses segment. We also believe that the generally slow real estate market negatively
affected Intuit Real Estate Solutions software license sales in our Other Businesses segment.
Operating income from continuing operations of $797.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal
2009 increased $52.7 million or 7% compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2009
revenue grew $114.0 million and total costs and expenses increased $61.3 million. Total costs and
expenses for the fiscal 2009 period increased due to our fiscal 2008 acquisitions of Homestead and
ECHO, higher advertising and other marketing expenses to support the launch and subsequent
promotion of TurboTax and QuickBooks 2009, and higher depreciation expense for investments in our
infrastructure. A decrease in costs and expenses due to certain compensation-related items and a
decline in the market value of certain liabilities associated with our executive deferred
compensation plan partially offset these increases.
Net income from continuing operations of $517.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009
increased $5.1 million or 1% compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Interest and other
income decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 due to lower interest income and a decline
in the value of assets associated with our executive deferred compensation plan. Declines in the
value of assets associated with our executive deferred compensation plan were offset by amounts
recorded in operating expenses in connection with declines in the related liabilities. In the first
nine months of fiscal 2008 we recorded a pre-tax gain of $51.6 million on the sale of certain
outsourced payroll assets; there was no comparable transaction in fiscal 2009.
Due to the foregoing factors, diluted net income per share from continuing operations of $1.57 in
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 increased 5% compared with $1.50 in the same period of fiscal
2008.

Table of Contents
We ended the third quarter of fiscal 2009 with cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $1.5
billion, an increase of $644 million from July 31, 2008. At April 30, 2009, we also held $265
million in municipal auction rate securities that we classified as long-term investments on our
balance sheet. See Note 8 to the financial statements in
Part I, Item 1 of this report and Liquidity and Capital Resources Auction Rate Securities
later in this Item 2 for more information. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009 we generated
$878 million in cash from operations, $181 million in cash from net sales of investments and $111
million in cash from the issuance of common stock under employee stock plans. During the same
period we used $200 million in cash for the repurchase of 7.4 million shares of our common stock
under our stock repurchase programs and $148 million in cash for capital expenditures. At April 30,
2009, we had authorization from our Board of Directors to expend up to an additional $400 million
for stock repurchases through May 15, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a
significant impact on our net revenue, operating income or loss and net income or loss, as well as
on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that the estimates,
assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 have the greatest potential impact on our
financial statements, so we consider them to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Except for the change to our fair value measurement policy that is discussed in Fair Value
Measurements Adoption of SFAS 157 below, we believe that during the first nine months of fiscal
2009 there were no significant changes in those critical accounting policies and estimates. Senior
management has reviewed the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and
estimates and their disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Audit Committee of
our Board of Directors.
Fair Value Measurements Adoption of SFAS 157
On August 1, 2008 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.157, Fair Value
Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities and for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities that we recognize or disclose at fair value on a recurring basis. See
Note 1 and Note 8 to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for more
information.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid
to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS
157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of
judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities. Significant judgment is
required to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities, particularly when observable inputs
are not available. For example, we use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of
our municipal auction rate securities because current market data is generally unavailable. See
Note 8 to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information. Changes
in our estimates of the fair values of our assets and liabilities could result in material
increases or decreases in our net income in the period in which the change occurs.

Current Fiscal Quarter
Total net revenue increased 9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third quarter
of fiscal 2008. QuickBooks segment revenue decreased 8%, Payroll and Payments segment revenue
increased 11%, Consumer Tax revenue increased 18%, Accounting Professionals revenue increased 4%,
Financial Institutions revenue increased 3% and Other Businesses revenue decreased 9% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009.
Nearly all of the revenue increase for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 was due to higher revenue in our Consumer Tax segment that was driven by
growth in TurboTax Online units. In addition, we deferred approximately $70 million in Consumer Tax
revenue from the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of
our decision to include federal electronic filing services with our TurboTax desktop software for
the 2008 tax year. We recognized substantially all of this revenue in the third quarter of fiscal
2009. In our Accounting Professionals segment, about $12 million in revenue shifted from the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 because we began offering certain
services separately from our professional tax software in fiscal 2009. We generally offered these
services in combination with our professional tax software in fiscal 2008. Excluding the $58
million net impact of these revenue shifts, total net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009
increased 5% compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2008. See Total Net Revenue by Business
Segment later in this Item 2 for more information.
Operating income from continuing operations increased $89.6 million or 13% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in operating income was due
to $121.4 million in higher revenue partially offset by $31.8 million in higher costs and expenses.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, total costs and expenses increased about $20 million due to
higher advertising and other marketing expenses to promote TurboTax 2008 and about $11 million due
to a charge for historical use of technology licensing rights. A $20 million decrease in costs and
expenses due to a reduction in expected employee bonus payment levels for fiscal 2009 partially
offset these increases. See Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses later in this Item 2 for
more information.
Net income from continuing operations increased $40.6 million or 9% in the third quarter of fiscal
2009 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2008. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $13.6 million on
the sale of certain outsourced payroll assets to ADP in the third quarter of fiscal 2008; there was
no comparable transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Dispositions and Discontinued
Operations later in this Item 2 for more information. Our effective tax rates were comparable at
36% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 35% for the third quarter of 2008.
Due to the foregoing factors, diluted net income per share from continuing operations of $1.47 in
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 increased 11% compared with $1.33 in the same quarter of fiscal
2008.

Table of Contents
Fiscal Year to Date
Total net revenue increased 4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same
period of fiscal 2008. QuickBooks segment revenue decreased 2%, Payroll and Payments segment
revenue increased 14%, Consumer Tax revenue increased 7%, Accounting Professionals revenue
increased 8%, Financial Institutions revenue increased 4% and Other Businesses revenue decreased
11%.
The increase in Consumer Tax revenue was due to 36% growth in TurboTax Online units, which more
than offset an 11% decrease in TurboTax desktop units. Payroll and Payments revenue was higher due
to price increases and growth in the customer base, and Accounting Professionals revenue was higher
due to price increases. See Total Net Revenue by Business Segment later in this Item 2 for more
information.
Operating income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 increased
$52.7 million or 7% compared with the same period of fiscal 2008. The increase in operating income
was due to $114.0 million in higher revenue partially offset by $61.3 million in higher costs and
expenses. In the fiscal 2009 period total costs and expenses increased about $49 million due to our
fiscal 2008 acquisitions of Homestead and ECHO; about $31 million due to higher advertising and
other marketing expenses to support the launch and subsequent promotion of TurboTax 2008 and
QuickBooks 2009; and about $20 million due to higher depreciation expense for investments in our
infrastructure. A $37 million decrease in costs and expenses due to certain compensation-related
items and a decline in the market value of certain liabilities associated with our executive
deferred compensation plan partially offset these increases. See Cost of Revenue and Operating
Expenses later in this Item 2 for more information.
Net income from continuing operations increased $5.1 million or 1% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008. Interest and other income decreased $22.2
million due to lower interest rates and lower invested balances that resulted in $13.5 million
lower interest income and to an $8.8 million decline in the value of assets associated with our
executive deferred compensation plan. Declines in the value of assets associated with our executive
deferred compensation plan were offset by amounts recorded in operating expenses in connection with
declines in the related liabilities. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008 we recorded a pre-tax
gain of $51.6 million on the sale of certain outsourced payroll assets; there was no comparable
transaction in fiscal 2009. See Dispositions and Discontinued Operations later in this Item 2 for
more information. Due to certain discrete tax items, our effective tax rate for the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 was 33%. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 was 35%.
See Income Taxes later in this Item 2 for more information about our effective tax rates for
these periods.
Due to the foregoing factors, diluted net income per share from continuing operations of $1.57 in
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 increased 5% compared with $1.50 in the same period of fiscal
2008.

2009 and decreased $7.8 million or 2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the
same periods of fiscal 2008. Excluding revenue from Homestead, which we acquired in December 2007,
QuickBooks segment total net revenue decreased 5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared
with the same period of fiscal 2008. Total QuickBooks software unit sales, including activations of
our free Simple Start offering, were up 7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and increased 4% in
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2008. Revenue per
QuickBooks unit was lower in those periods due to price promotion programs in some of our sales
channels. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, QuickBooks Online subscriptions grew 8% and
active Enterprise Solutions customers were up 20% compared with the same period of fiscal 2008.

Payroll and Payments
Payroll and Payments total net revenue increased $15.2 million or 11% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 and $55.9 million or 14% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same
periods of fiscal 2008. In our Payroll business, revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2009
increased compared with the same period of fiscal 2008 due to price increases and, to a lesser
extent, 2% growth in the customer base. In our Payments business, revenue in the first nine months
of fiscal 2009 increased due to 12% growth in our core merchant services customer base and revenue
from ECHO, which we acquired in February 2008. Transaction volume per customer was down about 6% in
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008, reflecting an
overall reduction in consumer spending associated with the current economic environment. Excluding
revenue from ECHO, Payroll and Payments segment revenue increased approximately 9% in the first
nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2008.
Consumer Tax
Consumer Tax total net revenue increased $60.2 million or 7% in the first nine months of fiscal
2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008 due to 36% growth in TurboTax Online units that
more than offset an 11% decrease in TurboTax desktop units.
Accounting Professionals
Accounting Professionals total net revenue increased $25.5 million or 8% in the first nine months

Financial Institutions
Financial Institutions total net revenue increased $8.1 million or 4% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008. Internet banking end users increased 5%
and bill-pay end users were up 20% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Lower revenue per user
partially offset growth in the Internet banking and bill-pay customer bases.
Other Businesses
Other Businesses total net revenue decreased $27.9 million or 11% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008. Quicken sales were down 13% in the fiscal
2009 period due to the overall reduction in consumer spending. In addition, the stronger U.S.
dollar contributed to a decline in Canadian revenue, lowering Other Businesses segment revenue
growth by approximately eight percentage points in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared
with the same period of fiscal 2008.

Current Fiscal Quarter
Total operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenue decreased to 35% in the third quarter
of fiscal 2009 from 37% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 due to $121.4 million in higher revenue
and $12.7 million in higher operating expenses in the fiscal 2009 quarter. Total operating expenses
in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 included an increase of about $20 million for advertising and
other marketing expenses to support the promotion of TurboTax 2008. A $20 million decrease in
operating expenses due to a reduction in expected employee bonus payment levels for fiscal 2009
offset this increase.
Fiscal Year to Date
Total operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenue decreased slightly to 52% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 53% in the same period of fiscal 2008 due to $114.0 million
higher revenue and $20.8 million higher operating expenses in the fiscal 2009 period. Total
operating expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 included an increase of about $31
million for the operating expenses of acquired businesses; an increase of about $31 million for
advertising and other marketing expenses to support the launch and subsequent promotion of TurboTax
2008 and QuickBooks 2009; and an increase of about $20 million due to higher depreciation expense
for investments in our infrastructure. These increases were partially offset by a total of about
$37 million in lower compensation-related expenses. These reductions in compensation-related expenses included a $28
million decrease for our bonus compensation and 401(k) benefits plan and a $9 million decrease due
to a decline in the market value of certain liabilities associated with our executive deferred
compensation plan.

Segment Operating Income (Loss)
Segment operating income or loss is segment net revenue less segment cost of revenue and operating
expenses. See Executive Overview Seasonality and Trends earlier in this Item 2 for a
description of the seasonality of our business. Segment expenses do not include certain costs, such
as corporate selling and marketing, product development, and general and administrative expenses
and share-based compensation expenses, which are not allocated to specific segments. These
unallocated costs totaled $136.2 million and $138.3 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2009
and 2008 and $392.5 million and $422.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008.
Segment expenses also do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets,
acquisition-related charges, interest expense, interest and other income, and realized net gains or
losses on marketable equity securities and other investments. See Note 5 to the financial
statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for reconciliations of total segment operating income
or loss to income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes for each fiscal period

QuickBooks
QuickBooks segment operating income as a percentage of related revenue decreased to 20% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 28% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Revenue in that
period was $7.8 million lower while total costs and expenses increased. Cost of revenue declined
approximately $5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 due to lower revenue and cost
efficiencies achieved for our QuickBooks service offerings. Selling and marketing expenses
increased approximately $33 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, including about $14
million due to our fiscal 2008 acquisition of Homestead and about $14 million due to higher
advertising and other marketing expenses to support the launch and subsequent promotion of
QuickBooks 2009. QuickBooks product development expenses increased approximately $5 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared with the same period of fiscal 2008.
Payroll and Payments
Payroll and Payments segment operating income as a percentage of related revenue increased to 43%
in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 35% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and increased
slightly to 41% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 40% in the same period of fiscal 2008.
Payroll and Payments segment revenue grew $15.2 million and $55.9 million in those periods. Costs
and expenses were relatively stable in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the third
quarter of fiscal 2008. Costs and expenses increased about $24 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 due to our February 2008 acquisition of ECHO.
Consumer Tax
Consumer Tax segment operating income as a percentage of related revenue was flat at 68% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008. Higher revenue in the fiscal 2009 period was partially
offset by an increase of about $17 million in advertising and other marketing expenses to support
the launch and subsequent promotion of TurboTax 2008.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Interest Expense
In March 2007 we issued $1 billion in senior notes. Interest expense of $36.1 million and $40.4
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 consisted primarily of interest on $500
million in principal amount of the senior notes at 5.40% and interest on $500 million in principal
amount of the senior notes at 5.75%. The senior notes are due in March 2012 and March 2017 and are
redeemable by Intuit at any time, subject to a make-whole premium.

Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rates for the third quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008 were approximately 36% and
35% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%.
34
Table of Contents
Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was approximately 33%. Excluding
discrete tax benefits primarily related to a favorable agreement we entered into with a tax
authority and the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit, our
effective tax rate for that period was approximately 36% and did not differ significantly from the
federal statutory rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was
approximately 35% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%.
Net Deferred Tax Assets
At April 30, 2009, we had total net deferred tax assets of $112.2 million, which included a
valuation allowance of $3.7 million for state net operating loss carryforwards. The allowance
reflects managements assessment that we may not receive the benefit of certain loss carryforwards.
While we believe our current valuation allowance is sufficient, it may be necessary to increase
this amount if it becomes more likely that we will not realize a greater portion of the net
deferred tax assets. We assess the need for an adjustment to the valuation allowance on a quarterly
basis. The assessment is based on our estimates of future sources of taxable income for the
jurisdictions in which we operate and the periods over which our deferred tax assets will be
realizable.
Dispositions and Discontinued Operations
Intuit Distribution Management Solutions Discontinued Operations
In August 2007 we sold our Intuit Distribution Management Solutions (IDMS) business for
approximately $100 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $27.5 million. In
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we have accounted for IDMS as a
discontinued operation and segregated its operating results from continuing operations in our
statements of operations for all periods prior to the sale. Revenue and net loss from IDMS
discontinued operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were not significant. IDMS was
part of our Other Businesses segment.
Sale of Outsourced Payroll Assets
In March 2007 we sold certain assets related to our Complete Payroll and Premier Payroll Service
business to Automated Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) for a purchase price of up to approximately $135
million in cash. The final purchase price was contingent upon the number of customers that
transitioned to ADP pursuant to the purchase agreement over a period of approximately one year from
the date of sale. In the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2008 we recorded pre-tax
gains of $13.6 million and $51.6 million in our statement of operations for customers who
transitioned to ADP during those periods. We received a total purchase price of $93.6 million and
recorded a total pre-tax gain of $83.2 million from the inception of this transaction through its
completion in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, we
did not account for this transaction as a discontinued operation. The assets were part of our
Payroll and Payments segment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
At April 30, 2009, our cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $1.5 billion, an increase of
$644 million from July 31, 2008 due to the factors noted under Statements of Cash Flows below. At
April 30, 2009, we also held $265 million in municipal auction rate securities that we classified
as long-term investments on our balance sheet. See Auction Rate Securities below for more
information. Our primary source of liquidity has been cash from operations, which entails the
collection of accounts receivable for products and services. Our primary uses of cash have been for
research and development programs, selling and marketing activities, capital projects, acquisitions
of businesses, debt service costs and repurchases of common stock.
In March 2007 we issued five-year and ten-year senior unsecured notes totaling $1 billion. The
estimated fair value of these notes decreased from $964.7 million at July 31, 2008 to $903.0
million at April 30, 2009. Although this decrease in estimated fair value was caused by recent
events in the credit markets rather than a change in the credit ratings of the notes or Intuit, the
decline could impact our future cost of capital. We also have a $500 million unsecured revolving
line of credit facility that is described later in this Item 2. To date we have not borrowed under
the facility.

Auction Rate Securities
At April 30, 2009, we held $265 million in municipal auction rate securities. At that date all of
the municipal auction rate securities we held were rated A or better by the major credit rating
agencies and 82% were collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of
Education. These securities are long-term debt instruments that are intended to provide liquidity
through a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined
intervals, typically every 35 days. Due to a decrease in liquidity in the global credit markets, in
February 2008 auctions began failing for the municipal auction rate securities we held. Regularly
scheduled auctions for these securities have generally continued to fail since that time. When
these auctions initially failed, higher interest rates for many of the securities went into effect
in accordance with the terms of the prospectus for each security. As of April 30, 2009, we had
received all interest payments in accordance with the contractual terms of these securities.
In August 2008 the broker-dealers for our municipal auction rate securities announced settlements
under which they may provide liquidity solutions, or purchase, the auction rate securities held by
their institutional clients. On November 4, 2008 we accepted an offer from UBS AG (UBS), one of the
broker-dealers for our municipal auction rate securities, that gives us the option to sell UBS a
total of $145.9 million in municipal auction rate securities at par value at any time during a
two-year period beginning June 30, 2010. The offer also gives UBS the discretion to buy any or all
of these municipal auction rate securities from us at par value at any time. To date UBS has not
purchased any of these securities from us. We continue to have counter-party risk associated with
UBS.
Based on our expected operating cash flows and our other sources of cash, we do not believe that
the reduction in liquidity of our municipal auction rate securities will have a material impact on
our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs.

$217.3 million in cash for capital expenditures, partially offset by the receipt of $330.9 million
in cash from the net sale of investments and $132.0 million from the sales of our Intuit
Distribution Management Solutions business and certain outsourced payroll assets.
During fiscal 2008 and 2009 we invested in a new data center and expanded office capacity to

We expect our capital expenditures to decrease from approximately $300 million in fiscal 2008 to
approximately $200 million in fiscal 2009.
Financing Activities
We used $84.4 million in cash for financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2009,
including $200.3 million for the repurchase of common stock under our stock repurchase programs
partially offset by the receipt of $111.1 million in cash from the issuance of common stock under

2008, including $800.0 million for the repurchase of common stock under our stock repurchase
programs partially offset by the receipt of $149.2 million in cash from the issuance of common
stock under employee stock plans.
Stock Repurchase Programs
Our Board of Directors has authorized a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of
common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. We repurchased no shares
under these programs during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. During the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 we repurchased 7.4 million shares of our common stock for $200.3 million under our
stock repurchase programs. We repurchased 10.8 million and 27.2 million shares of our common stock
for $300.0 million and $800.0 million under these programs during the third quarter and first nine
months of fiscal 2008. At April 30, 2009, we had authorization from our Board of Directors to
expend up to an additional $400 million for stock repurchases through May 15, 2011.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On March 22, 2007 we entered into an agreement with certain institutional lenders for a $500
million unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire on March 22, 2012. Advances under the
credit facility will accrue interest at rates that are equal to, at our election, either Citibanks
base rate or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin that ranges from 0.18% to
0.575% based on our senior debt credit ratings. The applicable interest rate will be increased by
0.05% for any period in which the total principal amount of advances and letters of credit under
the credit facility exceeds $250 million. The agreement includes covenants that require us to
maintain a ratio of total debt to annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and a ratio of annual EBITDA to interest
payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with these covenants at April 30,
2009. We may use amounts borrowed under this credit facility for general corporate
37
Table of Contents
purposes or for future acquisitions or expansion of our business. To date we have not borrowed
under the credit facility. We currently believe that the credit facility will be available to us
should we choose to borrow under it.
Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements
We evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the merits of acquiring technology or businesses, or establishing
strategic relationships with and investing in other companies. We may decide to use cash and cash
equivalents, investments, and our revolving line of credit facility to fund such activities in the
future.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents,
investments, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated seasonal
working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, contractual obligations, commitments and
other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months. As
discussed above in this Item 2 under Liquidity and Capital Resources Auction Rate Securities,
we do not believe that the reduction in the liquidity of our municipal auction rate securities will
have a material impact on our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At April 30, 2009, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in
Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Contractual Obligations
We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 2008. Except as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in those
obligations during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Commitment for Interest Payments on Senior Notes
On March 12, 2007 we issued $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012 and
$500 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2017 (together, the Notes). The Notes
are redeemable by Intuit at any time, subject to a make-whole premium. Interest is payable
semiannually on March 15 and September 15. At April 30, 2009, our maximum commitment for interest
payments under the Notes was $310.5 million.
Commitment for Licensed Technology
On May 14, 2009, we entered into an agreement to license certain technology for total consideration
of $120 million payable over the next ten fiscal years. See Note 12 to the financial statements in
Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of recent accounting pronouncements and the potential impact of these
pronouncements on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, see Note 1 to the
financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Investment Risk
There has been significant deterioration and instability in the financial markets during fiscal
2009. This period of extraordinary disruption and readjustment in the financial markets exposes us
to additional investment risk. The value and liquidity of the securities in which we invest could
deteriorate rapidly and the issuers of these securities could be subject to credit rating
downgrades. In light of the current market conditions and these additional risks, we actively
monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities in which we invest. We
believe that we take a conservative approach to investing our funds in that we invest only in
highly-rated securities and diversify our portfolio of investments. While we believe we take
prudent measures to mitigate investment related risks, such risks cannot be fully eliminated
because of market circumstances that are outside our control.
Our investments consist of instruments that meet quality standards consistent with our investment
policy. This policy specifies that, except for direct obligations of the United States government,
securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market funds, we diversify
our investments by limiting our holdings with any individual issuer. We do not hold derivative
financial instruments in our portfolio of investments.
See Note 2 to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
a summary of the cost and fair value of our investments by type of issue. See Note 8 to the
financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, in Part I, Item 2 for a description of market
events that have affected the liquidity of certain municipal auction rate securities that we held
at April 30, 2009.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash equivalents and investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
Interest rate movements affect the interest income we earn on cash equivalents and investments and
the fair value of those investments. Should the Federal Reserve Target Rate increase by 25 basis
points from the level of April 30, 2009, the value of our investments would decrease by
approximately $0.6 million. Should the Federal Reserve Target Rate increase by 100 basis points
from the level of April 30, 2009, the value of our investments would decrease by approximately $2.2
million.
We are also exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates as they affect our $500 million
revolving credit facility. Advances under the credit facility accrue interest at rates that are
equal to Citibanks base rate or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin that
ranges from 0.18% to 0.575% based on our senior debt credit ratings. Consequently, our interest
expense would fluctuate with changes in the general level of these interest rates if we were to
borrow any amounts under the credit facility. At April 30, 2009, no amounts were outstanding under
the credit facility.
On March 12, 2007 we issued $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012 and
$500 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2017. Since these senior notes bear
interest at fixed rates, they are not subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes
The functional currencies of our international operating subsidiaries are the local currencies. We
translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect on
the balance sheet date. We translate their revenue, costs and expenses at the average rates of
exchange in effect during the period. We include translation gains and losses in the stockholders
equity section of our balance sheets. We include net gains and losses resulting from foreign
exchange transactions in interest and other income in our statements of operations.
Since we translate foreign currencies (primarily Canadian dollars, British pounds and Indian
rupees) into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes, currency fluctuations can have an
impact on our financial results. The historical impact of currency fluctuations on our financial
results has generally been immaterial. We believe that our
39
Table of Contents
exposure to currency exchange
fluctuation risk is not significant because our international subsidiaries invoice customers and
satisfy their financial obligations almost exclusively in their local currencies. Although the
impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results has generally been immaterial in the past
and we believe that for the reasons cited above currency fluctuations will not be significant in
the future, there can be no guarantee that the impact of currency fluctuations will not be material
in the future. As of April 30, 2009, we did not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, Intuits Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have concluded that as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures as
defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) were effective to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control
over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A
RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements in this
report, other than statements that are purely historical, are forward-looking statements. Words
such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, forecast, estimate, seek, and
similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. In this report, forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, the following:
| our expectations and beliefs regarding future conduct and growth of the business; | ||
| the assumptions underlying our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, including our estimates regarding product rebate and return reserves; stock volatility and other assumptions used to estimate the fair value of share-based compensation; and expected future amortization of purchased intangible assets; | ||
| our belief that the investments we hold are not other-than-temporarily impaired; | ||
| our belief that the reduction in liquidity of the municipal auction rate securities we hold will not have a material impact on our overall ability to meet our liquidity needs; | ||
| our belief that our exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk will not be significant in the future; | ||
| our assessments and estimates that determine our effective tax rate; | ||
| our belief that our income tax valuation allowance is sufficient; | ||
| our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and other liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months; | ||
| our expectations regarding capital expenditures; | ||
| our beliefs regarding seasonality and other trends for our businesses; | ||
| our assessments and beliefs regarding the future outcome of pending legal proceedings and the liability, if any, that Intuit may incur as a result of those proceedings; and | ||
| the expected effects of the adoption of new accounting standards. |
We caution investors that forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current
expectations about future events and are not guarantees of future performance. We encourage you to
read carefully all information provided in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission before deciding to invest in our stock or to maintain or change
your investment. These forward-looking statements are based on information as of the filing date of
this Quarterly Report, and we undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update any
forward-looking statement for any reason.
Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include the following:
| We face intense competitive pressures in all of our businesses that may harm our operating results. | ||
| Future revenue growth for our core products depends upon our successful introduction of new and enhanced products and services. | ||
| Interruption, failure or breach of our information technology and communication systems, whether caused by natural disasters, malicious attacks or other events, could compromise the availability and security of our online products and services and lead to a loss of Intuits confidential or proprietary information or customer data, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results. | ||
| If we fail to maintain reliable and responsive service levels for our electronic tax offerings, or if the IRS or other governmental agencies experience difficulties in receiving customer submissions, we could lose customers and our revenue and earnings could decrease. | ||
| The nature of our products necessitates timely product launches and if we experience significant product quality problems or delays, it will harm our revenue, earnings and reputation. | ||
| Our collection, use and retention of personal customer information present business operations and security risks, require us to incur expenses, and could harm our business. | ||
| The growth of our business depends on our ability to adapt to rapid technological change. | ||
| Our reliance on a limited number of manufacturing and distribution suppliers could harm our business. | ||
| As our product and service offerings become more complex our revenue streams may become less predictable. | ||
| Our revenue and earnings are highly seasonal and our quarterly results fluctuate significantly. |
43
Table of Contents
| We face a number of risks in our payment processing business that could result in a reduction in our revenue and earnings. | ||
| We face a number of risks associated with our financial institutions business which could harm our revenue and results of operations. | ||
| Because we depend on a small number of large retailers and distributors, changes in these relationships could harm our results of operations. | ||
| Increased government regulation of our businesses could harm our operating results. | ||
| Expansion of our operations in international markets exposes us to operational and compliance risks. | ||
| If we do not respond promptly and effectively to customer service and technical support inquiries we will lose customers and our revenue and earnings will decline. | ||
| If we encounter problems with our third-party customer service and technical support providers our business and operating results will be harmed. | ||
| We are exposed to risks associated with credit card and payment fraud and with credit card processing. | ||
| If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may exploit our innovations, which could weaken our competitive position and reduce our revenue and earnings. | ||
| Third parties claiming that we infringe their proprietary rights could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from selling our products. | ||
| We expect copying and misuse of our intellectual property to be a persistent problem causing lost revenue and increased expenses. | ||
| We do not own all of the software, other technologies and content used in our products and services. | ||
| Our acquisition and divestiture activities could disrupt our ongoing business, may involve increased expenses and may present risks not contemplated at the time of the transactions. | ||
| We have issued $1 billion in a debt offering and may incur other debt in the future, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. | ||
| We are subject to risks associated with information disseminated through our services. | ||
| If actual product returns exceed returns reserves our financial results would be harmed. | ||
| Acquisition-related costs and impairment charges can cause significant fluctuation in our net income. | ||
| Our investments in auction rate securities are subject to risks that may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments. | ||
| If we fail to operate our payroll business effectively our revenue and earnings will be harmed. | ||
| Interest income attributable to payroll customer deposits may fluctuate or be eliminated, causing our revenue and earnings to decline. | ||
| We may be unable to attract and retain key personnel. | ||
| We are frequently a party to litigation that is costly to defend and consumes the time of our management. | ||
| Unanticipated changes in our tax rates could affect our future financial results. | ||
| If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to detect fraud or report our financial results accurately, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock. | ||
| General economic conditions may affect our revenue and harm our business. | ||
| Business interruptions could adversely affect our future operating results. |
This list does not include all risks that could affect our business, and if these or any other
risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, actual
results could differ materially from past results and from our expected future results.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 lists in more detail various
important risk factors facing our business in Part I, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in that section of our Form
10-K. We incorporate that section of the Form 10-K into this filing and encourage you to review
that information. We also encourage you to review our other reports filed periodically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for any further information regarding risks facing our business.
