Summary

Intuit Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2010, ending January 31, 2010. Total net revenue for the quarter increased by 8% year-over-year to $837 million, driven by growth in several segments including Consumer Tax and Payment Solutions, partially offset by a decline in Financial Management Solutions. For the first half of the fiscal year, total net revenue grew 6% to $1.31 billion. The company successfully divested its Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES) business, recording a gain on disposal. Acquisitions, including Mint Software Inc. and PayCycle, Inc., contributed to revenue growth and expanded service offerings. Despite revenue increases, net income from continuing operations saw a decline, particularly for the six-month period, primarily due to higher interest expenses and the absence of significant discrete tax benefits realized in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations also decreased year-over-year. Intuit continues to manage its capital through stock repurchases and has authorization for further repurchases. The company remains focused on its core products and services while navigating a challenging economic environment.
