01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed August 22, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Intuit (INTU) reported fiscal Q4 and full-year 2024 results (quarter and year ended July 31, 2024) that were strong on the top line and on non-GAAP profitability, while GAAP results were weighed down by a $223 milliona restructuring charge tied to the July 2024 reorganization.

Full-year revenue rose 13% to $16.3 billionb, with the Small Business and Self-Employed Group growing 19% and the Online Ecosystem growing 20%. Full-year non-GAAP operating income rose 16% to $6.4 billion and non-GAAP EPS rose 18% to $16.94. In the fourth quarter alone, GAAP operating loss was $(151) million and GAAP EPS was $(0.07), but non-GAAP operating income grew 16% to $730 million and non-GAAP EPS grew 21% to $1.99.

For fiscal 2025, management guided to revenue of $18.16c–18.35 billion (12–13% growth) and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $19.16–19.36 (13–14% growth), with GAAP EPS guided to $12.34–12.54. The first-quarter outlook is more modest, with revenue growth of 5–6% and non-GAAP EPS of $2.33–2.38. Management attributed the slowdown partly to a roughly $160 million revenue headwind from the QuickBooks Desktop transition to a subscription model, and it expects Desktop revenue to fall about 20% in the quarter before returning to growth in the second quarter.

Capital return remains a priority. The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.04d per share, up 16% year over year, payable October 18, 2024. It also approved a new $3.0 billion repurchase authorization, bringing total availability to $4.9 billion, after $2.0 billion of buybacks in fiscal 2024.

The company ended the year with roughly $4.1 billion in cash and investments against $6.0 billion of total debt. Investors should note that the filing contains forward-looking statements and that the restructuring charge figures are preliminary.

03—Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why did Intuit report a GAAP loss in the fourth quarter?

    The GAAP operating loss of $(151) million in Q4 FY24 was driven by a $223 million restructuring charge tied to the organizational changes announced in July 2024. Excluding restructuring, share-based compensation, and acquisition-related amortization, non-GAAP operating income was $730 million, up 16%.

  2. What drove the outlook for a slower first quarter of fiscal 2025?

    Management expects Q1 revenue growth of 5–6%, held back mainly by the QuickBooks Desktop transition to a recurring subscription model, which is expected to reduce revenue by about $160 million. Desktop revenue is forecast to fall about 20% in the quarter before returning to growth in Q2. Consumer and ProTax revenue are also expected to decline as the company laps the extended California tax deadline from a year earlier. Online Ecosystem growth is expected to accelerate to about 19%.

  3. How is Intuit returning capital to shareholders?

    The Board approved a quarterly dividend of $1.04 per share, a 16% increase, payable October 18, 2024. It also approved a new $3.0 billion repurchase authorization, bringing total availability to $4.9 billion. In FY24, Intuit repurchased $2.0 billion of stock and paid $1.0 billion in dividends.

  4. What is Intuit's balance sheet position?

  5. What should investors watch at the upcoming Investor Day?

    Intuit will hold its annual Investor Day on September 26, 2024, in Mountain View, CA, with presentations from CEO Sasan Goodarzi, CFO Sandeep Aujla, and other leaders.
