"In an effort to communicate with investors closer to the end of the quarter, we've been working to streamline our reporting processes. As a result, we are now able to accelerate our earnings reporting dates going forward," said Greg Santora, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "This quicker reporting schedule begins with our first quarter results which will be nearly a week earlier than last year. Investors can expect similar timing in future quarters."

Intuit will subsequently host a conference call at 1:30 P.M. (PST) to discuss first quarter results.

A downloadable earnings press release and PowerPoint presentation will be available on Intuit's website at www.intuit.com/about_intuit/investors/ following the close of market on November 15, 2001. There also will be an audio web cast of Intuit's conference at 1:30 PM (PST). The replay of the web cast will remain on Intuit's website for one week.
