Davenport's Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak CLIENT LOGIN Menu Intuit – A DEOPX Case Study In the Davenport Equity Opportunities Fund (DEOPX), we rely on our deep research process to uncover quality businesses with strong balance sheets, run by capable management teams that can compound shareholder capital at high rates of return. Once a business is identified, we employ a strict valuation discipline to ensure we pay a “fair” price or better. While we are not perfect, the stars have aligned nicely in certain instances throughout the Fund’s history, allowing us to deliver attractive returns with less risk. Below, we highlight our experience with long standing holding, Intuit Inc. (INTU), which illustrates what happens when we get it right. Intuit is a Mountain View, California-based software company that is famous for its TurboTax and QuickBooks applications. Prior to our recent sale, INTU was one of the most tenured holdings in DEOPX, and during our ownership the stock appreciated more than tenfold. We last added to it in 2013 with the stock in the mid-$50 range. At that time, the company had a market capitalization of $17 billion and traded for 15x forward earnings. Since then, the company has executed tremendously, reinvigorating growth in the consumer tax business, scaling its QuickBooks franchise, and transitioning its services to higher margin more recurring, cloud delivered revenue streams. As a result, revenues have grown at a 9.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last 10 years, while Free Cash Flow (FCF) compounded at a 14.8% annual rate. All the while, management has augmented solid execution with effective capital allocation, using excess cash flow to return more than $15 billion via share repurchases and dividends over this period. Fast forward to the time of our sale, and the stock fetched $560 per share, with a market cap of $155 billion implying a forward price to earnings (P/E) multiple of nearly 50x. Source: FactSet Though we elected to take profits in Intuit due to what we believe to be a more balanced risk reward profile, we maintain a great degree of respect for the franchise. Furthermore, we feel great about the opportunity set for the roster of companies we currently own. We are constantly in search of the next great story and look forward to reporting back to you on what our process uncovers in the future.
