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, consumers, accounting professionals and financial institutions. Our flagship products
and services, including QuickBooks, Quicken and TurboTax, simplify small business management and
payroll processing, personal finance, and tax preparation and filing. ProSeries and Lacerte are
Intuit’s tax preparation offerings for professional accountants. Our Financial Services business
provides online banking solutions and services to banks and credit unions. Incorporated in 1984 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 November 2009 we acquired Mint Software Inc. for total
consideration of approximately $170 million and in May 2010 we acquired Medfusion, Inc. for total
consideration of approximately $89 million. We have included the results of operations for Mint and
Medfusion in our consolidated results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. In
January 2010 we sold our Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES) business. We have reclassified our
financial statements for all periods prior to the sale to reflect IRES as discontinued operations.
Unless noted otherwise, discussions in these notes pertain to our continuing operations.
We have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items and the
reclassifications for discontinued operations discussed above, which we considered necessary for a
fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read together with the
audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. Results for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 do not
necessarily indicate the results we expect for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011 or any other
future period.
We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in our financial statements to conform to
the current presentation, including amounts related to reportable segments and discontinued
operations.
Seasonality
Our QuickBooks, Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals businesses are highly seasonal. 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.
Significant Accounting Policies
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in Item 8 of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010. As discussed below, on
August 1, 2010 we adopted authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
There have been no other changes to our significant accounting policies during the first nine
months of fiscal 2011.
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
In October 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards
applicable to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that are outside
the scope of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance amends the
criteria for allocating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements by establishing
a selling price hierarchy. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on
vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not
available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The guidance also
eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration
be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling
price method.
We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on August 1, 2010, and therefore applied it to
relevant revenue arrangements originating or materially modified on or after that date.
VSOE generally exists when we sell the deliverable separately and we are normally able to establish
VSOE for all deliverables in these multiple-element arrangements; however, in certain limited
instances VSOE cannot be established. This may be because we infrequently sell each element
separately, do not price products within a narrow range, or have a limited sales history, such as
in the case of our emerging market offerings. When VSOE cannot be established, we attempt to
establish selling price for each element based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices
for similar deliverables when sold separately.
When we are unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, we use ESP in our allocation of
arrangement consideration. We determine ESP for a product or service by considering multiple
factors, including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape,
internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices.
Our adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the timing and
pattern of revenue recognition when applied to multiple-element arrangements because our
multiple-element offerings are predominantly software or software-related and VSOE exists for most
of these offerings.
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 include 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, unrecognized compensation expense and tax
benefits that are less than the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with
unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are 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, unrecognized compensation expense and tax benefits that are greater than
the average market price for our common stock, and RSUs with unrecognized compensation expense and
tax benefits that are 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 the same since the
effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.
The following table presents the composition of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted
net income per share for the periods indicated.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
No customer accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue in the three or nine months ended April
30, 2011 or April 30, 2010. No customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at
April 30, 2011 or July 31, 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”
On May 12, 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). This update amends
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.” ASU
2011-04 clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands
the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable
(Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on
or after December 15, 2011, which means that it will be effective for our fiscal quarter beginning
February 1, 2012. The new guidance is to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not
permitted. We do not believe that adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a significant impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
