MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Feb. 22, 2007 – Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today announced its second-quarter 2007 revenue increased 3 percent year-over-year to $763 million, in line with expectations. For the first six months of the fiscal year, the company reported revenue growth of 8 percent.
Growth in the quarter was driven by strong sales in Consumer Tax, which were up 18 percent over the year-ago period, and Payroll and Payments segment, which was up 15 percent year-over-year. This growth was offset partly by revenue shifts in QuickBooks and Pro Tax, which moved about $45 million in revenue from the second quarter to the first and third quarters, compared to last year.
“We are pleased with the early results of TurboTax and the continued strength in our Payroll and Payments segment,” said Steve Bennett, Intuit’s president and chief executive officer. “We are also excited by the recent acquisition of Digital Insight, which will provide a third platform for growth as we go forward.”

Intuit posted GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) diluted net income of $145 million in the quarter versus diluted net income of $183 million in the second quarter of 2006.
