November 21, 2024 at 16:00 PM EST

Global Business Solutions Group Online Ecosystem Revenue Grew 20 percent

Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended October 31.

"We've had a strong start to the year as we demonstrate the power of Intuit's AI-driven expert platform strategy. By delivering 'done-for-you' experiences, enabled by AI with access to AI-powered human experts, we continue to fuel the success of consumers and businesses," said Sasan Goodarzi, Intuit's chief executive officer. "Our innovation and the proof points we're observing continue to bolster our confidence in our strategy."

Financial Highlights

For the first quarter, Intuit:

Grew total revenue to $3.3 billion, up 10 percent.
Increased Global Business Solutions Group revenue to $2.5 billion, up 9 percent; grew Online Ecosystem revenue to $1.9 billion, up 20 percent.
Grew Credit Karma revenue to $524 million, up 29 percent.
Reported Consumer Group revenue of $176 million, down 6 percent, and ProTax Group revenue of $39 million, down 7 percent, as the company lapped the period a year ago that included the extended tax filing deadline for most California filers.

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).

GAAP results reflect a restructuring charge of $9 million recognized in the quarter related to the organizational changes we announced in July, and a $42 million net loss on a private company investment, included in other long-term investments.

"We delivered strong first quarter fiscal 2025 results across the company driven by our Global Business Solutions Group and Credit Karma," said Sandeep Aujla, Intuit's chief financial officer. "We are confident in delivering double-digit revenue growth and margin expansion this year, and we are reiterating our full year guidance for fiscal 2025."

Business Segment Results

Global Business Solutions Group

Global Business Solutions Group revenue grew to $2.5 billion, up 9 percent, and Online Ecosystem revenue increased to $1.9 billion, up 20 percent.

Online Services revenue grew 19 percent, driven by growth in money, payroll, and Mailchimp offerings.
QuickBooks Online Accounting revenue grew 21 percent in the quarter, driven by customer growth, higher effective prices, and mix-shift.
Total international Online Ecosystem revenue grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis.

Desktop Ecosystem revenue declined 17 percent, reflecting changes the company made to its QuickBooks desktop offerings in early fiscal 2024 to complete the transition to a recurring subscription model, including more frequent product updates.

Credit Karma

Credit Karma revenue grew 29 percent to $524 million in the quarter, driven by strength in personal loans, auto insurance, and credit cards.

Consumer Group

Consumer Group revenue of $176 million was down 6 percent in the quarter, as the company lapped the period a year ago that included the extended tax filing deadline for most California filers.

Capital Allocation Summary

In the first quarter, the company:

Reported a total cash and investments balance of approximately $3.4 billion and $6.1 billion in debt as of October 31, 2024.
Repurchased $570 million of stock, with $4.3 billion remaining on the company's share repurchase authorization.
Received Board approval for a quarterly dividend of $1.04 per share, payable January 17, 2025. This represents a 16 percent increase per share compared to the same period last year.

Forward-looking Guidance

Intuit reiterated guidance for the full fiscal year 2025. The company expects:

Revenue of $18.160 billion to $18.347 billion, growth of approximately 12 to 13 percent.
GAAP operating income of $4.649 billion to $4.724 billion, growth of approximately 28 to 30 percent.
Non-GAAP operating income of $7.241 billion to $7.316 billion, growth of approximately 13 to 14 percent.
GAAP diluted earnings per share of $12.34 to $12.54, growth of approximately 18 to 20 percent.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $19.16 to $19.36, growth of approximately 13 to 14 percent.

The company also reiterated full fiscal year 2025 segment revenue guidance:

Global Business Solutions Group: growth of 16 to 17 percent. This includes Online Ecosystem revenue growth of approximately 20 percent, and Desktop Ecosystem revenue growth in the low single digits.
Consumer Group: growth of 7 to 8 percent.
ProTax Group: growth of 3 to 4 percent.
Credit Karma: growth of 5 to 8 percent.

Intuit announced guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ends January 31. The company expects:

Revenue of $3.812 billion to $3.845 billion, growth of approximately 13 to 14 percent. The company expects a single digit decline in Consumer Group revenue due to some promotional changes in retail channels largely related to its desktop offering. This only impacts revenue timing and does not impact overall unit or revenue expectations for fiscal year 2025. The company expects Global Business Solutions Group Desktop Ecosystem revenue to return to growth in the second quarter.
GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.84 to $0.90.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.55 to $2.61.

INTUIT INC.
NOTES TO TABLE A
[A]	The following table summarizes the total share-based compensation expense that we recorded in operating income for the periods shown.

		Three Months Ended
	(In millions)	October 31, 2024		October 31, 2023
	Cost of revenue	$	111	$	101
	Selling and marketing		137		123
	Research and development		161		161
	General and administrative		102		110
	Total share-based compensation expense	$	511	$	495

[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.

	We recognized excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $28 million in our provision for income taxes for each of the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023.

	Our effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2024 was approximately 8%. Excluding discrete tax items primarily related to share-based compensation, our effective tax rate was approximately 24%. 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 rate for the three months ended October 31, 2023 was approximately 9%. Excluding discrete tax items primarily related to share-based compensation, our effective tax rate was approximately 24%. 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.

	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 first quarter of fiscal 2025, we began to exclude from non-GAAP measures both the gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan liabilities, and the related gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan assets. Prior periods have not been reclassified as the amounts are not material.

[B]		During the three months ended October 31, 2024, we recognized a $42 million net loss on other long-term investments.

[C]		As discussed in “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Income Tax Effects and Adjustments” following Table E, our long-term non-GAAP tax rate eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items. Income tax adjustments consist primarily of the tax impact of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” immediately following Table E for information on these measures, the items excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP measures in arriving at non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons management uses each measure and excludes the specified amounts in arriving at each non-GAAP financial measure.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated November 21, 2024 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. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we exclude from our non-GAAP measures gains and losses from the revaluation of our executive deferred compensation plan liabilities, and the related gains and losses on our executive deferred compensation plan assets. Prior periods have not been reclassified as amounts are immaterial.

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

Amortization of acquired technology
Amortization of other acquired intangible assets
Restructuring charges
Share-based compensation expense
Gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan liabilities
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 securities and other investments
Gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan assets
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, restructuring, 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.

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 and trade names.

Restructuring charges. This consists of costs incurred as a direct result of discrete strategic restructuring actions, including, but not limited to severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other costs, which are different in terms of size, strategic nature, and frequency than ongoing productivity and business improvements.

Share-based compensation expense. This consists 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.

Gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan liabilities. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses on the revaluation of our executive deferred compensation plan liabilities.

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.

Gains and losses on executive deferred compensation plan assets. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses on the revaluation of our executive deferred compensation plan assets.

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 long-term projections, we are using a long-term non-GAAP tax rate of 24% for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. 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.

The reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in Table E include all information reasonably available to Intuit at the date of this press release. These tables include adjustments that we can reasonably predict. Events that could cause the reconciliation to change include acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, goodwill and other asset impairments, sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments, and disposals of businesses and long-lived assets.
