Agreed,, nothing has changed! They had much better things to say than ORCL, CPQ, and others and were punished while others went up on much worse news. Sad,,, the vol today indicated blind sales which caused the price drop. Quite understandable-- NOT! A fast recovery or there will be more selling IMO. |

Intuit Clarifies Financial Guidance
Company Expects to Meet 3rd, 4th Quarter and Fiscal Year 2001 Pro Forma Operating Income Targets
Company Expects Fiscal Year 2002 Pro Forma Operating Income Growth of 25 Percent to 30 Percent
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2001-- Intuit today clarified the financial guidance it issued on March 15. The company reiterated its fiscal 2001 pro forma operating income commitment of $205 million to $213 million, which represents greater than 32 percent annual growth. This remains unchanged from guidance provided during its second quarter earnings announcement in February and is up significantly from the 13 percent profitability growth during the prior year. Intuit also reiterated that it expects to achieve a minimum pro forma operating income growth of between 25 percent and 30 percent for fiscal year 2002, which begins Aug. 1, and a minimum of 20 percent pro forma operating income growth in each of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004.
The company confirmed that as part of meeting its fiscal 2001 full year commitment, it would also meet its third
quarter and fourth quarter fiscal 2001 pro forma operating income commitments. Intuit's third and fourth quarter
profitability commitments are unchanged from the guidance provided during its second quarter earnings
announcement. Those commitments included pro forma operating income of $165 million to $170 million in the third quarter and pro forma operating losses of $47 million to $52 million in the fourth quarter. Due to the seasonal nature of its businesses and consistent with analysts' expectations, Intuit typically has pro forma operating losses in the fourth quarter each year.
Intuit reiterated that it expects fiscal year revenue to range from $1.26 billion to $1.3 billion, an increase of 15 percent to 19 percent over last year, but down 3 percent to 5 percent from guidance the company provided during its last earnings announcement. As it stated on Thursday, third quarter revenue growth is expected to range from $425 million to $450 million, up between 29 percent and 37 percent from the year-ago third quarter. Fourth quarter revenue is expected to range from $200 million to $210 million, an increase of between 23 percent and 29 percent over last year's fourth quarter. |

IMHO some momo shorts jumped on the selling bandwagon for the trip south. When they start closing positions out INTU should recover well above 30. Time will tell.

| From: ProDeath | 4/25/2006 11:19:46 PM | | | | | | Turbo Tax Macintosh?
This year I had what was undoubtedly the worst yet of an perennial series of problems with TT Windows. Installation problems, flakes, flaws - you name, this year was unbelievable, and I've used TT since it was a DOS product. Given the Windows machine was a freshly installed XP Pro with all updates and virtually nothing else installed on it, I've had more than enough to jettison Windows and TT completely. I will not pay $70 for a piece of software that causes me to spend hours over two days with tech support just to install.
I have said for some time now that the only reason I keep a Windows installation around is for TT, as other real work on my Intel boxes gets done with linux.
It occurred to me that I might have a final solution to the Windows question if TT is any good on the Mac, can anyone comment, especially on the newer Intel-based Macs? |

| To: ptlusa who wrote (1531) | 9/9/2006 4:51:08 PM | | From: Dinesh | | | | can't comment on that, but I can surely share my recent experience with Intuit. The messageboard title is just too good to ignore.
So I used to have a quickbooks, and a turbo tax. Then, and sadly enough, I bought the latest Quicken. The moment I installed it, all hell breaks loose, and I can't use none of these products. of course it is very DISRUPTIVE. Not the positive disruptive kind.
So I call their help desk. It's aligned by products. The first person who answered said that the Quicken EULA says that we can't own this combination of Intuit products, so it's our own fault. No, he didn't offer any help in recovering. Nor did he tell us why Intuit opted to silently screw us and not just prominently warned us. What Terrific Fun!
Next help desk clerk told us we could own this products combo, but had to install them on separate disks or machines. She wanted to rush headlong into partitioning our hard disk. Next thing you know we'd have been calling Microsoft help desk (and the monkey would be off Intuit's back).
Third one put us on infinite hold. Probably trying to bring together experts from other product teams.
So far, I have installed Quicken on another PC, and in the process of backing up my old PC. Then I will reinstall Intuit's Quickbooks and TurboTax. Get my stuff.
And then! move on to better products. Never saw such helpless helpdesk, and such lame engineering team. Screw the customer before even the splash screen has faded away.
regards
