Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has caused significant global economic instability and uncertainty. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts Intuit’s business, operations, financial results, and financial condition, including the duration and magnitude of such effects, will depend on numerous evolving factors, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or respond to its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Please also see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of this Annual Report for important information to consider when evaluating these statements. All statements in this report, other than statements that are purely historical, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “seek,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. In this report, forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:

• our expectations and beliefs regarding future conduct and growth of the business;

• statements regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business;

• our beliefs and expectations regarding seasonality, competition and other trends that affect our business;

• our expectation that we will continue to invest significant resources in our product development, marketing and sales capabilities;

• our assumptions underlying our critical accounting policies and estimates, including our judgments and estimates regarding revenue recognition; the fair value of goodwill; and expected future amortization of acquired intangible assets;

• our intention not to sell our investments and our belief that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell them before recovery at par;

• our belief that the investments we hold are not other-than-temporarily impaired;

• our belief that we take prudent measures to mitigate investment related risks;

• our belief that our exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk will not be significant in the future;

• our assessments and estimates that determine our effective tax rate;

• our belief that our income tax valuation allowance is sufficient;

• our belief that it is not reasonably possible that there will be a significant increase or decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months;

• our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, contractual obligations, debt service requirements and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months;

• our expectation that we will return excess cash generated by operations to our stockholders through repurchases of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends, after taking into account our operating and strategic cash needs;

• our plan to continue to provide ongoing enhancements and certain connected services for all future versions of our QuickBooks Desktop software products;

• our judgments and assumptions relating to our loan portfolio;

• our belief that the credit facilities will be available to us should we choose to borrow under them; and

• our assessments and beliefs regarding the future developments and outcomes of pending legal proceedings and inquiries by regulatory authorities, the liability, if any, that Intuit may incur as a result of those proceedings and inquiries, and the impact of any potential losses or expenses associated with such proceedings or inquiries on our financial statements.
