Notes to Financials
Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- Segment reorganization: Effective August 1, 2025, Intuit combined its Consumer, Credit Karma, and ProTax businesses into a single Consumer segment; as a result, certain Credit Karma selling and marketing, product development, and G&A expenses previously managed at the segment level are now managed at the platform level and included in other corporate expenses. Certain marketing, communications, and customer success functions in the Global Business Solutions segment were also moved to the platform level. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, $1 million and $7 million were reclassified from Global Business Solutions, and $155 million and $456 million were reclassified from Consumer to other corporate expenses, respectively, to conform to the current presentation.
- Deferred revenue recognition: During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, Intuit recognized $136 million and $977 million of revenue included in deferred revenue at July 31, 2025; comparable figures for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 were $111 million and $829 million from deferred revenue at July 31, 2024. As of April 30, 2026 and July 31, 2025, deferred revenue related to performance obligations satisfied after 12 months was $2 million and $4 million, respectively.
- Concentration of credit risk: No customer accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue in the three or nine months ended April 30, 2026 or April 30, 2025, and no customer accounted for 10% or more of gross accounts receivable as of April 30, 2026 or July 31, 2025.

- Acquired intangible assets — amortization reducing net carrying value: Net acquired intangibles declined to $4,807 million at April 30, 2026 from $5,302 million at July 31, 2025, driven by $496 million of accumulated amortization added during the nine months; gross cost was nearly unchanged at $8,644 million versus $8,643 million, confirming no material new acquisitions. The portfolio comprises Customer and User Relationships ($3,842 million net, 14-year weighted-average life), Purchased Technology ($571 million net, 8-year weighted-average life), and Trade Names and Logos ($394 million net, 13-year weighted-average life).

- Seasonality impact: Several other current liability balances, particularly reserves for returns, credits, and promotional discounts, are affected by the seasonality of Intuit's business.
- Other long-term obligations: Total other long-term obligations were $358 million at April 30, 2026, up from $308 million at July 31, 2025, driven primarily by long-term deferred income tax liabilities ($76M vs. $20M), partially offset by a decline in income tax liabilities ($223M vs. $238M).

Note 9 — Income Taxes
- Effective tax rates: For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026, effective tax rates were approximately 24% and 23%, respectively; excluding discrete items primarily related to share-based compensation, both periods were approximately 24%. The difference from the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible share-based compensation, partially offset by the federal research and experimentation credit.
- Discrete share-based compensation items: For the three months ended April 30, 2026, tax shortfalls on share-based compensation of $11 million were recognized; for the nine months ended April 30, 2026, excess tax benefits of $40 million were recognized. Comparable prior-year amounts were $18 million and $75 million of excess tax benefits for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, respectively.
- OBBBA legislation: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted July 4, 2025, reinstates immediate expensing of domestic research and developmental expenditures effective in fiscal 2026; while not expected to materially impact the fiscal 2026 effective tax rate, fiscal 2026 cash tax payments and related deferred tax asset positions are expected to decrease significantly compared to fiscal 2025.
- Unrecognized tax benefits: Total unrecognized tax benefits were $394 million at July 31, 2025, with no material changes during the nine months ended April 30, 2026; recognition of net benefits would produce a favorable net impact of $276 million on income tax expense. A $126 million long-term liability for uncertain tax positions was offset against a long-term income tax receivable at April 30, 2026 (versus $61 million at July 31, 2025), with the April 30, 2026 receivable primarily related to fiscal 2026 federal research and experimentation credits carried back to fiscal 2025 and an approved method of accounting change request for fiscal 2018.

On August 19, 2025, the Board approved an additional $3.2 billion authorization, and on May 7, 2026, the Board approved a further $8 billion increase under the existing program.
- Dividends: During the nine months ended April 30, 2026, quarterly cash dividends totaling $3.60 per share were declared for a total of $1.0 billion; in May 2026 the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share payable July 17, 2026 to stockholders of record at close of business on July 9, 2026.
- Unrecognized RSU compensation: At April 30, 2026, approximately $3.6 billion of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs and restricted stock remained, with a weighted-average vesting period of 2.5 years; for stock options, approximately $101 million of unrecognized cost remained with a weighted-average vesting period of 2.6 years.
- Share-based award pool: Shares available for grant increased from 25,147 thousand at July 31, 2025 to 27,559 thousand at April 30, 2026, driven by 4,475 thousand shares returned via cancellations/forfeitures/expirations, partially offset by 2,063 thousand RSUs granted (which reduce the pool at a 2.3-to-1 ratio under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan).

Management Discussion & Analysis
About Intuit
- Segment structure: Intuit operates 2 reportable segments — Global Business Solutions and Consumer — serving small and mid-market businesses, consumers, and professional accountants in the U.S. and Canada.
- Global Business Solutions: Encompasses QuickBooks and Intuit Enterprise Suite (an AI-powered, configurable multi-entity financial management platform for more complex businesses), plus payroll, time tracking, merchant payment processing, bill pay, checking accounts through an FDIC-member bank partner, small and mid-market business financing, and Mailchimp marketing automation and CRM tools.
- Consumer segment: Includes TurboTax (DIY and AI-enabled assisted tax prep for U.S. and Canada consumers), money products such as early refund access and Credit Karma Money branded savings and checking accounts, Credit Karma (personalized financial product recommendations, credit monitoring, dispute, and building tools), and ProTax offerings (Lacerte, ProSeries, ProConnect Tax Online, ProFile, and ProTax Online) for professional accountants in the U.S. and Canada.
- Revenue mix: Global Business Solutions represented 55% of total net revenue YTD Q3 Fiscal 2026, with Consumer at 45%.
Our Business and Growth Strategy
- AI-driven platform strategy: Intuit describes itself as having transformed from a tax and accounting platform to an AI-driven expert platform, leveraging a "system of intelligence" combining proprietary data, AI capabilities, an ecosystem of applications, and a network of AI-enabled human experts to serve consumers, businesses, and accountants.
- AI agents and GenOS: Intuit launched AI agents providing customers a "virtual team" to automate workflows and deliver real-time insights, including agents in Intuit Enterprise Suite covering accounting, payments, finance, and project management; these are powered by its proprietary Generative AI Operating System (GenOS), described as enabling rapid internal development of autonomous financial solutions.
- Three Big Bets: Management prioritizes three growth initiatives — (1) done-for-you experiences via AI agents and human experts for businesses and consumers; (2) Accelerate Money Benefits, targeting an all-in-one platform for cash flow, receivables, payables, capital, spend management, and consumer savings; and (3) Fuel Success for Mid-Market Businesses via QuickBooks Advanced, Intuit Enterprise Suite, and connected services targeting mid-market customers with a lower total cost of ownership.
- Mid-market positioning: Intuit frames mid-market businesses as "overdigitized, juggling too many disparate apps" and positions its integrated platform as the solution to consolidate data and insights, with the stated goal of growing customer revenue and profit.
Industry Trends and Seasonality
Seasonality
- Seasonal concentration: Within the Consumer segment, TurboTax and ProTax sales and revenue are typically heavily concentrated in the period from November through April, resulting in higher net revenues during the second and third quarters ending January 31 and April 30, respectively.
- Forward outlook: Management expects this seasonality to continue to have a significant impact on quarterly financial results in the future.
Key Challenges and Risks
- Innovation and AI dependence: Growth strategy depends on the ability to innovate and introduce emerging technologies, including AI and GenAI, to drive adoption of products and services and enter new markets; significant resources are being invested in product development, marketing, and sales, with continued investment expected.
- Talent and third-party relationships: Future success depends on attracting, retaining, and developing highly skilled employees in technical and leadership roles in a highly competitive talent environment, as well as maintaining and strengthening third-party business relationships.
- Data security and fraud: As an online financial services provider, Intuit faces risks around hosting, collection, use, and retention of personal customer information; fraudulent activities by malicious third parties are described as increasingly sophisticated, including through the use of AI, prompting continued investment in security measures and collaboration with state, federal, and broader industry partners.
- Regulatory environment: Operations are subject to numerous federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations covering a broad and increasing range of subjects, in a rapidly-evolving regulatory environment with heightened scrutiny, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Overview of Financial Results
- Key financial indicators: Management tracks revenue growth (company-wide and by reportable segment), operating income growth, earnings per share, and cash flow from operations as its primary financial indicators, supplemented by non-financial revenue drivers disclosed in segment discussions when material.
- Services mix: Total service revenue was $16.4 billion, or 87% of total revenue, in fiscal 2025; management expects service revenue as a percentage of total revenue to grow over the long term.
Key highlights for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 include the following:
- Revenue: Total revenue of $17.1B, up 14% from the same period of fiscal 2025, with Global Business Solutions segment revenue of $9.4B (up 17%) and Consumer segment revenue of $7.7B (up 10%).
- Profitability: Operating income of $5.4B (up 18%), net income of $4.2B (up 20%), and diluted net income per share of $15.05 (up 22%), all versus the same period of fiscal 2025.

Current Fiscal Quarter
- Revenue: Total net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $804 million, or 10%, compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by Consumer segment growth of 8% (assisted tax, consumer money offerings, and Credit Karma personal loan and insurance verticals, partially offset by fewer TurboTax federal units) and Global Business Solutions segment growth of 15% from Online Ecosystem revenue.
- Operating income: Operating income increased $300 million, or 8%, with the revenue gain partially offset by higher expenses for outside services including hosting, staffing, marketing, SaaS subscriptions and licenses, and share-based compensation.
- Net income and EPS: Net income increased $244 million, or 9%, reflecting higher operating income and $46 million in net gains on long-term investments, partially offset by higher income tax expense (driven by higher operating income and share-based compensation tax shortfalls); diluted net income per share rose to $11.09 from $10.02 in the prior-year quarter, aided by reduced weighted shares outstanding from increased share repurchase activity.
Fiscal Year to Date
- Revenue: Total net revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 increased $2.1 billion, or 14%, compared with the same period of fiscal 2025, driven by Global Business Solutions segment revenue growth of 17% (from Online Ecosystem revenue) and Consumer segment revenue growth of 10% (from assisted tax, consumer money offerings, and Credit Karma personal loan, credit card, and insurance verticals), partially offset by fewer TurboTax federal units.
- Operating income: Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 increased $825 million, or 18%, compared with the same period of fiscal 2025, with the gain partially offset by higher expenses for outside services including hosting, staffing, marketing, share-based compensation, and SaaS subscriptions and licenses.

Segment Results
- Segment restructuring: Effective August 1, 2025, Intuit combined its Consumer, Credit Karma, and ProTax businesses into a single Consumer segment; simultaneously, certain marketing, communications, customer success functions in Global Business Solutions and certain data science and analytics teams were reorganized between platform and segment levels, requiring recast of prior periods.
- Recast impact: As a result of these changes, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, expenses totaling $1 million and $7 million from Global Business Solutions and $155 million and $456 million from Consumer were reclassified to other corporate expenses to conform to the current presentation.
