Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint, Credit Karma and Mailchimp, announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which ended April 30.

“We are confident in our strategy and execution across the company as we become the global AI-driven expert platform powering the prosperity of consumers and small businesses,” said Sasan Goodarzi, Intuit's chief executive officer. “We had another strong quarter, and we are raising Intuit’s revenue and operating income guidance for fiscal year 2022.”

Financial Highlights

For the third quarter, Intuit:

• Grew total revenue to $5.6 billion, up 35 percent, including the addition of Mailchimp. Excluding Mailchimp, total revenue grew 29 percent.
• Grew Consumer Group revenue 32 percent to $3.2 billion, reflecting the earlier tax filing deadline this year.
• Increased Small Business and Self-Employed Group revenue 42 percent to $1.7 billion. Excluding Mailchimp revenue of $257 million, Small Business and Self-Employed Group revenue grew 20 percent.
• Grew Online Ecosystem revenue 67 percent to $1.2 billion. Excluding Mailchimp, Online Ecosystem revenue grew 31 percent.
• Increased Credit Karma revenue 48 percent to $468 million, a quarterly record for the business.

Unless otherwise noted, all growth rates refer to the current period versus the comparable prior-year period, and the business metrics and associated growth rates refer to worldwide business metrics.

Dollars are in millions, except earnings per share. See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding financial measures not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Third quarter results include a $141 million one-time charge related to the company’s settlement with the attorneys general of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, entered into on May 4, 2022. This charge is reflected in the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP operating income, impacting growth by 7 and 6 points, respectively. The charge impacted third quarter GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share by $0.37 and $0.38, respectively. More detail can be found on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on May 4, 2022.

Business Segment Results

Small Business and Self-Employed Group

• QuickBooks Online Accounting revenue grew 32 percent in the quarter, driven primarily by higher effective prices, customer growth and mix-shift.
• Online Services revenue grew to $614 million, up 121 percent, driven by the addition of Mailchimp, and growth in QuickBooks Online payroll and QuickBooks Online payments. Excluding Mailchimp revenue of $257 million, online services revenue grew 28 percent.
• Total international online revenue grew 221 percent on a constant currency basis, and 29 percent excluding Mailchimp.

Credit Karma

• Credit Karma revenue growth in the quarter was driven by strength in personal loans and credit cards.

Consumer Group

For the full fiscal year, Intuit expects:

• TurboTax share of total IRS returns to expand approximately 1 point and TurboTax share of the DIY category to increase 2 points, both excluding users of the TurboTax Free File offering in the prior year periods.
• Total TurboTax units to grow 1 percent, and TurboTax Online paying units to grow 8 percent. Slower growth was driven by weaker than expected total IRS returns, which the company expects to decline 3 percent.
• TurboTax Live revenue to grow approximately 30 percent to $1 billion and TurboTax Live customers to grow approximately 20 percent. Last year, TurboTax Live customer growth significantly benefited from the introduction of the free Basic offer.
• Customers in under-penetrated segments - including Latinx, self-employed and investors - to grow double digits in total, and the number of customers with crypto transactions to be up more than 4x versus last year.

Unless otherwise noted above, all growth rates refer to Intuit's expectations for the tax filing season through July 31, 2022 compared to the prior season through July 31, 2021.

Intuit plans to provide a TurboTax federal tax unit comparison in its fourth quarter 2022 earnings release.

ProConnect Group

• ProConnect Group professional tax revenue grew to $258 million in the quarter, up from $235 million the prior year.

Capital Allocation Summary

In the third quarter the company:

• Reported a total cash and investments balance of approximately $3.9 billion as of April 30.
• Repurchased $489 million of shares, with $2.0 billion remaining on the company's share repurchase authorization.
• Received Board approval for a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share, payable July 18, 2022. This represents a 15 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

Forward-looking Guidance

Intuit updated guidance for the full fiscal year 2022. The updated guidance includes the one-time $141 million charge related to the company's settlement with 50 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia. The company now expects:

• Revenue of $12.633 billion to $12.674 billion, growth of approximately 31 to 32 percent, including Mailchimp as of November 1 and a full year of Credit Karma, up from previous guidance for growth of 26 to 28 percent.
• Excluding Mailchimp, revenue growth of 23 to 24 percent, up from previous guidance for growth of 18 to 20 percent.
• GAAP operating income of $2.499 billion to $2.519 billion, growth of approximately flat to 1 percent, up from previous guidance of a decline of approximately 2 percent to flat. This guidance reflects strong business performance, partially offset by the $141 million impact of the state attorneys general settlement. Excluding the impact of the state attorneys general settlement, GAAP operating income growth would be approximately 5.6 points higher.
• Non-GAAP operating income of $4.451 billion to $4.471 billion, growth of approximately 28 percent, up from previous guidance for growth of 25 to 27 percent. This guidance reflects strong business performance, partially offset by the $141 million impact of the state attorneys general settlement. Excluding the impact of the state attorneys general settlement, non-GAAP operating income growth would be approximately 4.0 points higher.
• GAAP diluted earnings per share of $6.95 to $7.01, a decline of approximately 8 to 7 percent, down from previous guidance of a decline of 7 to 5 percent, reflecting strong business performance, offset by an approximate $0.37 earnings per share impact of the state attorneys general settlement and an expected GAAP tax rate of approximately 20 percent in fiscal 2022, up from 18 percent previously.
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $11.68 to $11.74, growth of approximately 20 to 21 percent, up from previous guidance for growth of 18 to 20 percent, reflecting strong business performance, partially offset by an approximate $0.38 earnings per share impact of the state attorneys general settlement.

The company also updated segment revenue guidance. For fiscal 2022, the company now expects:

• Small Business and Self-Employed Group: growth of 36 to 37 percent, up from previous guidance of 32 to 33 percent. This reflects 20 percent organic growth, up from previous guidance for growth of 16 to 17 percent. The company expects a $765 million to $770 million contribution from the Mailchimp acquisition.
• Consumer Group: growth of 10 percent, versus previous guidance for growth of 10 to 11 percent. This reflects weaker than expected total IRS returns, anticipated to decline 3 percent.
• ProConnect Group: growth of 4 to 5 percent, up from previous guidance for growth of 1 to 2 percent.
• Credit Karma: revenue of $1.795 billion to $1.805 billion, up from previous guidance of $1.540 billion to $1.565 billion.

Intuit announced guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, which ends July 31. The company expects:

• Revenue to decline approximately 8 to 9 percent, reflecting the earlier tax filing deadline this year versus last year.
• GAAP loss per share of $0.53 to $0.47.
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.94 to $1.00.

[B]		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 adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period.
		For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, we recognized excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $26 million and $135 million, respectively, in our provision for income taxes. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, we recognized excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $13 million and $77 million, respectively, in our provision for income taxes.
		Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 were approximately 24% and 20%, respectively. Excluding discrete tax items primarily related to share-based compensation tax benefits mentioned above, our effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 26%. The difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible share-based compensation, which were partially offset by the tax benefit we received from the federal research and experimentation credit.
		Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 were approximately 24% and 22%, respectively. Excluding discrete tax items primarily related to share-based compensation tax benefits mentioned above, our effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 25%. The difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible share-based compensation and non-deductible transaction costs related to the Credit Karma acquisition, which were partially offset by the tax benefit we received from the federal research and experimentation credit.
		In the current global tax policy environment, the U.S. and other domestic and foreign governments continue to consider, and in some cases enact, changes in corporate tax laws. As changes occur, we account for finalized legislation in the period of enactment.

[A]		During the three months ended October 31, 2021, we recognized $39 million of net gains on other long-term investments.

Income tax adjustments consist primarily of the tax impact of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and the excess tax benefits on share-based compensation.

INTUIT INC.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated May 24, 2022 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Table B1, Table B2, and Table E reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures in that press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.

We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.

We exclude the following items from all of our non-GAAP financial measures:

• Share-based compensation expense
• Amortization of acquired technology
• Amortization of other acquired intangible assets
• Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges
• Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets
• Professional fees and transaction costs for business combinations

We also exclude the following items from non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share:

• Gains and losses on debt and equity securities and other investments
• Income tax effects and adjustments
• Discontinued operations

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Intuit’s operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, our individual operating segments, or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expense, amortization, or the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.

The following are descriptions of the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures.

Share-based compensation expenses. These consist of non-cash expenses for stock options, restricted stock units, and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. When considering the impact of equity awards, we place greater emphasis on overall shareholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with those awards.

Amortization of acquired technology and amortization of other acquired intangible assets. When we acquire a business in a business combination, we are required by GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the business and amortize them over their useful lives. Amortization of acquired technology in cost of revenue includes amortization of software and other technology assets of acquired businesses. Amortization of other acquired intangible assets in operating expenses includes amortization of assets such as customer lists, covenants not to compete, and trade names.

Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures non-cash charges to adjust the carrying values of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets to their estimated fair values.

Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operating results.

Professional fees and transaction costs for business combinations. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures the professional fees we incur to complete business combinations. These include investment banking, legal, and accounting fees.

Gains and losses on debt securities and other investments. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and gains and losses on other investments.

Income tax effects and adjustments. We use a long-term non-GAAP tax rate for evaluating operating results and for planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate excludes the income tax effects of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments described above, and eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period specific items which can vary in size and frequency. Based on our current long-term projections, we are using a long-term non-GAAP tax rate of 24% for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for various reasons including significant acquisitions, changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate. We will evaluate this long-term non-GAAP tax rate on an annual basis and whenever any significant events occur which may materially affect this rate.

Operating results and gains and losses on the sale of discontinued operations. From time to time, we sell or otherwise dispose of selected operations as we adjust our portfolio of businesses to meet our strategic goals. In accordance with GAAP, we segregate the operating results of discontinued operations as well as gains and losses on the sale of these discontinued operations from continuing operations on our GAAP statements of operations but continue to include them in GAAP net income or loss and net income or loss per share. We exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures.
