 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Personal finance software maker Intuit Inc. said Wednesday its fiscal third-quarter earnings dipped less than 1 percent on new stock option expenses and a higher tax rate, though a strong consumer tax season drove up sales by 14 percent.
For the three months ending in April, the maker of TurboTax and Quicken software said its net income was $298.6 million, or $1.68 per share, compared to $300.5 million, or $1.61 per share, a year ago. Excluding items, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company said it earned $318.3 million, or $1.79 per share, up from $287.5 million, or $1.54 per share, last year.
Revenue increased to $953 million from $834.9 million in the 2005 period.
