Intuit Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2017

Conflict Minerals Rule

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “CMR”) of Intuit Inc. ("Intuit") for the year ended December 31, 2017 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants that manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing certain minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. These minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”). Rule 13p-1 focuses on 3TG originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and nine adjoining countries (together, the “Covered Countries”). If, based on a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”), a registrant has reason to believe that any of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in its products may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on such Conflict Minerals’ source and chain of custody.

Company overview

Intuit helps consumers, small businesses and the self-employed prosper by delivering financial management and compliance products and services. Our flagship brands, QuickBooks and TurboTax, help customers run their small businesses, pay employees and bills, separate business and personal expenses, track their money, and file income taxes ("Core Products"). Intuit's Core Products account for over 95% of its total annual revenue. These offerings include software products distributed through downloading, cloud-based services and CDs. In addition to these core software offerings, Intuit also contracts to manufacture a bluetooth card reader and a payment dongle that connects to smart phones, tablets and bluetooth card readers and allows merchants to process credit card payments (the “Intuit Payment Devices”).

Conflict Minerals Rule Applicability

Intuit has reviewed the products it manufactures or contracts to manufacture and has confirmed that none of its Core Products described above contain Conflict Minerals. For the 2017 reporting period, the Intuit Payments Devices are the only products that Intuit contracted to manufacture which contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to their functionality or production. This Conflict Minerals Report ("CMR") relates to the due diligence process undertaken for the Intuit Payment Devices.

Intuit contracts to manufacture the Intuit Payment Devices with two direct suppliers (the "Tier One Suppliers"). Intuit does not directly purchase raw minerals, including 3TG, and is many steps removed from the mines, smelters and refiners that supply the conflict minerals contained in the Intuit Payment Devices.






Statements in this CMR are based on our due diligence activities performed in good faith for the calendar year 2017. Factors that could affect the accuracy of the statements in this CMR include but are not limited to, incomplete supplier or smelter data available through suppliers or smelters, on-going certification of smelters, continued guidance or amendments to the Conflict Minerals Rule and other factors.
 
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

Intuit conducted a RCOI to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in the Intuit Payment Devices originated in the Covered Countries, or were Conflict Minerals from recycled or scrap sources by surveying our supply base for the Intuit Payment Devices. Based on its RCOI, Intuit was unable to determine that such Conflict Minerals did not originate in the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources, and, accordingly, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such Conflict Minerals, as discussed below.

Due Diligence Program

Intuit's due diligence program was designed to conform, in all material respects, to the five-step framework laid out in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition and related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold (the "OECD Guidance"). Below is a summary of the design of our due diligence program as it relates to the five-step framework under the OECD Guidance.

Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Intuit has established strong company management systems relating to conflict minerals. In January 2013, we formed a dedicated working group comprised of subject matter experts within the Supply Chain organization and Legal teams, and this working group has met regularly since its formation. The working group reports regularly on progress to a disclosure committee of senior executives, including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and General Counsel, and also updates the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Management has also developed a Conflict Minerals Policy that is posted at http://www.intuit.com/company/strategic-sourcing/supplier-policies/conflict-minerals/ to clearly communicate Intuit’s commitment to developing and maintaining a conflict free mineral supply chain to its suppliers and the public.

In addition, in order to improve on the quality of information provided by its supply chain, Intuit has already amended its agreements with its suppliers to strengthen the contractual requirements to source from certified conflict-free sources wherever possible. Intuit requires the inclusion of similar provisions in its agreements with new suppliers.

Finally, we maintain a company-level grievance mechanism, as described in our Code of Conduct and Ethics, that enables employees to report concerns, including any concerns regarding Intuit's Conflict Minerals supply chain. Intuit also maintains an integrity hotline that third parties can use to report on financial and ethical issues, including issues concerning our Conflict Minerals supply chain. The number for this hotline is 1-877-379-3939.

Step 2: Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

Intuit relies on the Tier One Suppliers to provide information regarding the 3TG contained in our products, and the Tier One Suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by its suppliers. In





this process, Intuit used the due diligence tools developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), including the RMI’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “Template”), which is designed to identify the smelters that process the Conflict Minerals in a company’s supply chain.

Intuit reviewed the Templates provided by the Tier One Suppliers for completeness, accuracy and consistency. Intuit compared the identified smelters against the RMI’s standard smelter list and the list of compliant smelters published by RMAP.

We are a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA”) and the RMI working groups. As a member of RMI, a leading industry program that helps its members to manage risk by improving supply chain transparency with respect to Conflict Minerals, Intuit has access to RMI RCOI data that aids us in determining the mine or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals in our supply chain.

Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Intuit’s strategy to respond to the identified risks in its supply chain focuses on implementing requirements that its Tier One Suppliers source the components in the Intuit Payment Devices from smelters certified under RMAP wherever possible. In this regard, where Template responses indicate that suppliers are not using certified conflict-free sources, we engaged with the Tier One Suppliers and/or OEM to encourage them to establish an alternative source of Conflict Minerals. Intuit holds regular meetings with its Tier One Suppliers to discuss and assess whether all of the suppliers in the supply chain are diligently working to get the Template completed in an accurate and timely manner. We also update our Audit and Risk Committee atleast annually on our conflict minerals reporting.

Step 4: Support Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence

Intuit does not have direct relationships with smelters and is many steps removed from the mines, smelters and refiners. We do not perform direct audits of these entities' supply chains for 3TGs. However, Intuit supports the development of, and smelters' participation in, independent third party audits of smelters' sourcing practices, such as the RMAP.

Step 5: Report on Supply Chain Diligence

Intuit is committed to full and transparent disclosure of its efforts to facilitate the sourcing of conflict-free minerals for its products. This CMR is available on Intuit's website at http://www.intuit.com/company/strategic-sourcing/supplier-policies/conflict-minerals/.

Results of Due Diligence

For the 2017 reporting period, we had reason to believe that the Conflict Minerals contained in the Intuit Payment Devices may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. Intuit exercised vigilant due diligence as described above, on the source and chain of custody of these necessary Conflict Minerals.
 
Intuit's efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Intuit Payment Devices with the greatest possible specificity consisted of the due diligence measures described in this CMR, including our efforts to seek information from our suppliers using the Template. Based on responses we received from our Tier One Suppliers, 345 smelters were identified in Intuit’s supply chain who source the components from a mix of Covered Countries and non-Covered Countries. All of the identified smelters have been audited by the RMAP.






The table below illustrates our results by providing, for each relevant metal, the number and percentage of identified 3TG smelters that were RMAP compliant.

Last year, we disclosed in our CMR that 100% of the identified smelters were RMAP compliant. The decrease in percentage of RMAP compliant smelters in this year's CMR is because we on-boarded an additional Tier One Supplier this year, causing a corresponding increase in the number of smelters. We are working with our recently expanded supply chain to achieve 100% compliance.

Additionally, Intuit cannot be certain that the list of 345 smelters is comprehensive and that there are no other smelters which contribute to the component in Intuit's Payment Devices. Consequently, we are unable to determine that the Conflict Minerals utilized in the Intuit Payment Devices did not originate in the Covered Countries or directly or indirectly benefit armed groups.

Although Intuit requested information from the suppliers at a product level, almost all supplier responses provided information at a company or division level, but not at a product level, and, therefore, the information provided was not necessarily limited to smelters confirmed to be in Intuit’s supply chain. As a result, Intuit is unable to validate whether the facilities identified by the OEMs, which are listed in Annex A below, in fact contributed Conflict Minerals to Intuit Payment Devices.  Annex B below includes an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the facilities listed in Annex A are believed to source Conflict Minerals, based on information provided by suppliers and RMI, of which Intuit is a member.

Additional Mitigation Efforts

Intuit is committed to responsible sourcing and has been dedicate to ensuring that any Conflict Minerals contained in its products do not finance armed group. Towards this end, Intuit has made notable progress in ensuring that Conflict Minerals are sourced from conflict-free smelters.

Intuit is also a member of the RBA and has developed procedures consistent with the RBA recommendations for responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals, as set forth in the OECD Guidance. Intuit also attends the bi-weekly RBA Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Calls chaired by the RBA and has implemented the best practices that are relevant to its supply chain that have been developed by the RMI. As an active member of the RBA, Intuit will continue to monitor and implement relevant best practices recommendations from the RBA as well as Conflict Minerals trends that impact Intuit’s business.

Further Intuit:

While on-boarding our new Tier One Supplier, included a provision in the supplier contract to ensure that it is committed to responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals;
Conducts benchmarking sessions with manufacturers and other technology companies in Silicon Valley;





Sets up webinars with its suppliers to address concerns and questions; and
Continues to work with suppliers to see that they have robust due diligence practices.

We also continue to work with our Tier One Suppliers and the RBA to ensure that our Tier One Suppliers continue to make all reasonable efforts to work with OEMs to source from smelters that are compliant with the RMAP.

Finally, while we are pleased with our progress in developing a conflict-free supply chain of Conflict Minerals in our existing products, we may continue to introduce new products, including devices which may contain certain Conflict Minerals necessary to their functionality or production. To that extent, we will continue to take all reasonable efforts to source such Conflict Minerals from smelters that are compliant with the RMAP.
