Intuit's (INTU) Q3 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Intuit (INTU - Free Report) reported fiscal third-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $7.65 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.60. The bottom line increased 26% from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of $6.07 per share.
Revenues of $5.63 billion surpassed the consensus mark of $5.52 billion and improved 35% year over year.
The year-over-year surge in the top and bottom lines reflect strong growth in the do-it-yourself category and solid revenues from the Credit Karma business. The solid contribution from TurboTax Live was an upside. Solid customer growth also contributed to the top line.
Segment-wise, Small Business and Self-Employed Group revenues grew 42% year over year to $1.7 billion. This rise was driven by the solid growth in customers for QuickBooks Online and a favorable mix-shift.
Total Online Ecosystem revenues surged 67% year over year to $1.2 billion. QuickBooks Online Accounting revenues were up 32% year over year to $578 million, mainly driven by the mix-shift, higher pricing and customer growth.
Online Services revenues, which include payroll, payments, time tracking and capital, soared 121% year over year to $614 million. This was driven by strong performances at the QuickBooks Online payroll and QuickBooks Online payments solutions, along with revenues from the newly acquired Mailchimp business.
Within the QuickBooks Online payroll, a mix-shift to INTU’s full-service offering and the continued uptick in the customer base acted as tailwinds. Within the payments, an increase in the charge volume per customer and ongoing customer growth drove revenues. Mailchimp contributed $257 million to total Online Services.
Total International online revenues increased a whopping 221% year over year on a constant-currency basis and 29% on an organic basis, excluding contributions from Mailchimp.
Total Desktop ecosystem revenues grew 2.81% year over year during the reported quarter to $475 million.
In the fiscal third quarter, revenues from Consumer Group increased to $3.24 billion from $2.45 billion, mainly driven by the earlier Internal Revenue Service (IRS) deadline this year. IRS income tax returns filing deadline was Apr 18, 2022.
ProConnect Group's professional tax revenues increased to $258 million from $235 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was mainly driven by the earlier IRS opening.
The Credit Karma business contributed $468 million to Intuit’s third-quarter total revenues, up from $316 million in the year-ago quarter.
