NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 and for all periods presented, have been made.

"H&R Block," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to H&R Block, Inc., to H&R Block, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or to H&R Block, Inc.'s operating subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our June 30, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts presented herein as of June 30, 2025 or for the year then ended are derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the evaluation of contingent losses associated with pending claims and litigation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and fair value of reporting units. Estimates have been prepared based on the best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS – Our operating revenues are seasonal in nature with peak revenues typically occurring in the months of February through April. Therefore, results for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – Our discontinued operations include the results of operations of Sand Canyon Corporation, previously known as Option One Mortgage Corporation, which exited its mortgage business in fiscal year 2008.

NOTE 2: REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of our revenues are from our United States (U.S.) tax services business. The following table disaggregates our U.S. revenues by major service line, with revenues from our international tax services businesses and from Wave included as separate lines:


				(in 000s)
	Three months ended September 30,

Wave		29,850		26,403
Other		13,476		13,809
Total revenues		$	203,551	$	193,810

Changes in the balances of deferred revenue and wages for our Peace of Mind® Extended Service Plan (POM) are as follows:


							(in 000s)
POM	Deferred Revenue				Deferred Wages
Three months ended September 30,	2025		2024		2025		2024
Balance, beginning of the period	$	149,302	$	156,610	$	19,884	$	20,212
Amounts deferred	1,534		1,563		8		15
Amounts recognized on previous deferrals	(26,955)		(27,450)		(3,461)		(3,629)
Balance, end of the period	$	123,881	$	130,723	$	16,431	$	16,598

As of September 30, 2025, deferred revenue related to POM was $123.9 million. We expect that $83.7 million will be recognized over the next twelve months, while the remaining balance will be recognized over the following five years.

As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, Tax Identity Shield® (TIS) deferred revenue was $18.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Deferred revenue related to TIS was $22.6 million and $21.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All deferred revenue related to TIS will be recognized by April 2026.

NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

EARNINGS PER SHARE – Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of shares of common stock issuable upon the lapse of certain restrictions or the exercise of options to purchase 2.7 million shares for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations during the periods.


6			Q1 FY2026 Form 10-Q\| H&R Block, Inc.

Table of Contents

The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are as follows:


(in 000s, except per share amounts)
	Three months ended September 30,
		2025		2024
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders		$	(165,368)	$	(171,421)
Amounts allocated to participating securities		(262)		(229)
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders		$	(165,630)	$	(171,650)

Basic weighted average common shares		131,387		139,154
Potential dilutive shares		—		—
Dilutive weighted average common shares		131,387		139,154

Loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders:
Basic		$	(1.26)	$	(1.23)
Diluted		(1.26)		(1.23)

The decrease in the weighted average shares outstanding is due to share repurchases completed in the current and prior fiscal years.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – We granted 0.8 million and 1.0 million shares, including adjustments for performance achievement and dividend equivalents, under our stock-based compensation plans during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of our continuing operations totaled $6.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost for nonvested shares and units totaled $68.5 million.

NOTE 4: RECEIVABLES

H&R BLOCK'S INSTANT REFUND® – H&R Block's Instant Refund® amounts are generally received from the Canada Revenue Agency within 60 days of filing the client's return, with the remaining balance collectible from the client.

We review the credit quality of our Instant Refund receivables based on pools, which are segregated by the tax return year of origination, with older years being deemed more unlikely to be repaid. We establish an allowance for credit losses at an amount that we believe reflects the receivable at net realizable value. In December of each year, we charge-off the receivables and the related allowance to an amount we believe represents the net realizable value.

Balances and amounts on non-accrual status, classified as impaired, or more than 60 days past due, by tax return year of origination, as of September 30, 2025 are as follows:


			(in 000s)

Tax return year of origination	Balance		More Than 60 Days Past Due

EMERALD ADVANCE® – We review the credit quality of our purchased participation interests in Emerald Advance® (EA) receivables based on pools, which are segregated by the fiscal year of origination, with older years being deemed more unlikely to be repaid. We establish an allowance for credit losses at an amount that we believe reflects the receivable at net realizable value. Typically, in December of each year, we charge-off the receivables and the related allowance for EAs to an amount we believe represents the net realizable value.

Balances and amounts on non-accrual status, classified as impaired, or more than 60 days past due, by fiscal year of origination, as of September 30, 2025 are as follows:

Estimated fair value of long-term debt	$	1,698,000	$	1,437,000

On August 26, 2025, we issued $350.0 million of 5.375% Senior Notes due September 15, 2032 (2032 Senior Notes). The 2032 Senior Notes are not redeemable by the bondholders prior to maturity, although we have the right to redeem some or all of these notes at any time, at specified redemption prices. The net proceeds from the 2032 Senior Notes will be used for general corporate purposes, which includes, among other uses, the redemption of the $350.0 million in principal outstanding of our 5.250% notes due October 2025 (2025 Senior Notes). We redeemed our 2025 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on September 19, 2025.

UNSECURED COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT – On July 11, 2025, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement (2025 CLOC), which amended and restated our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement, extended the scheduled maturity date to July 11, 2030, maintained the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, and revised the interest rate table. All other material terms remain substantially unchanged from our previous CLOC.

The 2025 CLOC provides for an unsecured senior revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which includes a $175.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $50.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. We may request increases in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility of up to $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from lenders and meeting certain other conditions. The 2025 CLOC will mature on July 11, 2030, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the 2025 CLOC, at which time all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable. Our 2025 CLOC includes an annual facility fee, which will vary depending on our then current credit ratings.

The 2025 CLOC is subject to various conditions, triggers, events or occurrences that could result in earlier termination and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation: (1) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the 2025 CLOC agreement, calculated on a consolidated basis of no greater than (a) 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on March 31, June 30, and September 30 of each year and (b) 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on December 31 of each year; (2) a covenant requiring us to maintain an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA-to-interest expense) calculated on a consolidated basis of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last date of any fiscal quarter; and (3) covenants restricting our ability to incur certain additional debt, incur liens, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell or dispose of assets (including equity interests), liquidate or dissolve, engage in certain transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. The 2025 CLOC includes provisions for an equity cure which could potentially allow us to independently cure certain defaults. Proceeds under the 2025 CLOC may be used for working capital needs or for other general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with these requirements as of September 30, 2025.

We had an outstanding balance of $245.0 million under our 2025 CLOC and amounts available to borrow were not limited by the debt-to-EBITDA covenant as of September 30, 2025.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES

We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and file tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions.

On July 4,2025, H.R. 1 was signed into law. The legislation did not have a material impact on our tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and we do not expect it to materially change our effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations, including the effects of discrete tax items, was 23.6% and 26.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Consistent with prior years, our pretax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is expected to be offset by income in our third and fourth quarters due to the established pattern of seasonality in our primary business operations. As such, management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that realization of tax benefits recorded in our financial statements will occur within our fiscal year. The amount of tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflects management’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date loss from continued operations adjusted for the tax impact of discrete items for the periods presented.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Our U.S. and Canadian businesses offer our 100% accuracy guarantee. Assisted tax returns are covered by our 100% accuracy guarantee, whereby we will reimburse a client for penalties and interest attributable to an H&R Block error on a return. Similarly, DIY tax returns are covered by our 100% accuracy guarantee, whereby we will reimburse a client (up to a maximum of $10,000 in the U.S.) if our software makes an arithmetic error that results in payment of penalties and/or interest to the respective taxing authority that a client would otherwise not have been required to pay. Our liability related to estimated losses under the 100% accuracy guarantee was $10.4 million and $11.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The short-term and long-term portions of this liability are included in deferred revenue and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Liabilities related to acquisitions for (1) estimated contingent consideration based on expected financial performance of the acquired business and economic conditions at the time of acquisition and (2) estimated accrued compensation related to continued employment of key employees were $30.6 million and $29.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 respectively, with amounts recorded in deferred revenue and other liabilities. Should actual results differ from our estimates, future payments made will differ from the above estimate and any differences will be recorded in results from continuing operations.

We have contractual commitments to fund certain franchises with approved short-term lines of credit for the purpose of meeting their seasonal working capital needs. Our total obligation under these lines of credit was $13.2 million at September 30, 2025, and net of amounts drawn and outstanding, our remaining commitment to fund totaled $8.1 million.

NOTE 9: LITIGATION AND OTHER RELATED CONTINGENCIES

We are a defendant in numerous litigation and arbitration matters, arising both in the ordinary course of business and otherwise, including as described below. The matters described below are not all of the lawsuits or arbitrations to which we are subject. In some of the matters, very large or indeterminate amounts, including punitive damages, may be sought. U.S. jurisdictions permit considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. We believe that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value due to this variability in pleadings and our experience in handling and resolving numerous claims over an extended period of time.

The outcome of a matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may be difficult to ascertain. Among other things, uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how courts and arbitrators will apply the law. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will view the relevant evidence and applicable law.

In addition to litigation and arbitration matters, we are also subject to other loss contingencies arising out of our business activities, including as described below.

We accrue liabilities for litigation, arbitration and other related loss contingencies and any related settlements when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a range of loss is estimated, and some amount within that range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within that range, then that amount is accrued. If no amount within the range can be identified as a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount in the range.

For such matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, or the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual has been made. It is possible that such matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or accrue liabilities in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of September 30, 2025. While the potential future liabilities could be material in the particular quarterly or annual periods in which they are recorded, based on information currently known, we do not believe any such liabilities are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our accrued liabilities were $6.8 million and $6.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Our estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses includes (1) matters where a liability has been accrued and there is a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued for that liability, and (2) matters where a liability has not been accrued but we believe a loss is reasonably possible. This aggregate range only represents those losses as to which we are currently able to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss. It does not represent our maximum loss exposure.

Matters for which we are not currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss are not included in this range. We are often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, such as precise information about the amount of damages or other remedies being asserted, the defenses to the claims being asserted, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by courts or arbitrators on motions or appeals, analyses by experts, or the status or terms of any settlement negotiations.

The estimated range of reasonably possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. As of September 30, 2025, we believe the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued, where the range of loss can be estimated, is not material.

At the end of each reporting period, we review relevant information with respect to litigation, arbitration and other related loss contingencies and update our accruals, disclosures, and estimates of reasonably possible loss or range of loss based on such reviews. Costs incurred with defending matters are expensed as incurred. Any receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding liability, and only if recovery is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the various matters described in this note, and we intend to defend them vigorously. The amounts claimed in the matters are substantial, however, and there can be no assurances as to their outcomes. In the event of unfavorable outcomes, it could require modifications to our operations; in addition, the amounts that may be required to be paid to discharge or settle the matters could be substantial and could have a material adverse impact on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

We have received and are responding to certain governmental inquiries, class actions and mass arbitrations relating to the IRS Free File Program and other aspects of our DIY tax preparation services, including the use of pixels. An accrual related to these matters is included in our loss contingency accrual.

We are from time to time a party to litigation, arbitration and other loss contingencies not discussed herein arising out of our business operations. These matters may include actions by state attorneys general, other state regulators, federal regulators, individual plaintiffs, and cases in which plaintiffs seek to represent others who may be similarly situated.

While we cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately prevail in each instance, we believe the amount, if any, we are required to pay to discharge or settle these other matters will not have a material adverse impact on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION

We provide assisted and DIY tax preparation solutions through multiple channels (including in-person, online and mobile applications, virtual, and desktop software) and distribute H&R Block-branded services and products, including those of our bank partners, to the general public primarily in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our chief executive officer, who regularly reviews consolidated financial information to evaluate financial performance and allocate resources. Specifically, the CODM uses revenues, operating expenses, net income and EBITDA at a consolidated level, as key financial metrics in deciding how to reinvest to grow the business. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make operating decisions and identify growth opportunities. The measure of segment assets is total consolidated assets as presented on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table presents the significant revenue and expense categories included in the segment's net income from continuing operations as regularly provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis and then reconciled to net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Revenues increased $9.7 million, or 5.0%, from the prior year. U.S. assisted tax preparation revenues increased $5.7 million, or 13.2%, due to an increase in net average charge and company-owned tax return volumes in the current year.

Total operating expenses decreased $11.6 million, or 2.7%, from the prior year. Field wages increased $1.6 million, or 2.4%, due to higher preseason and tax professional wages in the current year. Other wages increased $1.9 million, or 2.5% due to higher corporate wages due to salary increases. Benefits and other compensation decreased $2.1 million, or 5.4% primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense. Occupancy expense increased $1.5 million, or 1.5%, primarily due to higher lease expenses. Marketing and advertising expense decreased $1.6 million, or 16.3%, due to higher vendor refunds for expired customer incentives and lower online advertising.

Technology-related expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 7.5%, due to higher cloud-related technology spend. Legal expenses decreased $11.0 million primarily due to lower outside legal counsel spend in the current year.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $51.0 million in the current year compared to $60.8 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was 23.6% and 26.2%, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

These comments should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part 1, Item 1.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY –

OVERVIEW – Our primary sources of capital and liquidity include cash from operations (including changes in working capital), draws on our unsecured committed line of credit (CLOC), and issuances of debt. We use our sources of liquidity primarily to fund working capital, service and repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase shares of our common stock, and acquire businesses.

Our operations are highly seasonal and substantially all of our revenues and cash flow are generated during the period from February through April in a typical year. Therefore, we normally require the use of cash to fund losses and working capital needs, periodically resulting in a working capital deficit, during the months of May through


18			Q1 FY2026 Form 10-Q\| H&R Block, Inc.

Table of Contents

January. We typically have relied on available cash balances from the prior tax season and borrowings to meet liquidity needs.

Given the likely availability of a number of liquidity options discussed herein, we believe that, in the absence of any unexpected developments, our existing sources of capital as of September 30, 2025 are sufficient to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.

DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS – The following table summarizes our statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. See Item 1 for the complete consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods.


	(in 000s)
Three months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(356,838)	$	(328,581)
Investing activities	(20,926)		(26,394)
Financing activities	(225,025)		(284,450)
Effects of exchange rates on cash	(2,949)		3,249
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted balances	$	(605,738)	$	(636,176)

Operating Activities. Cash used in operations totaled $356.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $328.6 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to changes in accrued income taxes and other current liabilities, partially offset by a lower net loss.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $26.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower capital expenditures.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities totaled $225.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $284.5 million in the prior year period. The change is primarily due to proceeds from line of credit borrowings partially offset by higher repurchases of common stock.

CASH REQUIREMENTS –

Dividends and Share Repurchases. Returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and the repurchase of outstanding shares is, and has historically been, a significant component of our capital allocation plan.

We have consistently paid quarterly dividends. Dividends paid totaled $50.2 million and $44.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Although we have historically paid dividends and plan to continue to do so, there can be no assurances that circumstances will not change in the future that could affect our ability or decisions to pay dividends.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased $400.1 million of our common stock at an average price of $50.90 per share, excluding excise taxes in connection with such repurchases. In the prior year period, we repurchased $209.6 million of our common stock at an average price of $63.51 per share, excluding excise taxes in connection with such repurchases. Our current share repurchase program has remaining authorization of $700.0 million and does not have an expiration date.

Share repurchases may be effectuated through open market transactions, some of which may be effectuated under SEC Rule 10b5-1. The Company may cancel, suspend, or extend the period for the purchase of shares at any time. Any repurchases will be funded primarily through available cash and cash from operations. Although we may continue to repurchase shares, there is no assurance that we will purchase up to the full Board authorization.

Capital Investment. Capital expenditures totaled $13.2 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures relate primarily to recurring improvements to retail offices, as well as investments in computers, software and related assets. In addition to our capital expenditures, we also made payments to acquire businesses. We acquired franchisee and competitor businesses

totaling $5.1 million and $5.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Item 1, note 5 for additional information on our acquisitions.

FINANCING RESOURCES – The 2025 CLOC has capacity up to $1.5 billion and is scheduled to expire in July 2030. Proceeds under the 2025 CLOC may be used for working capital needs or for other general corporate purposes. We had an outstanding balance of $245.0 million under our 2025 CLOC and amounts available to borrow were not limited by the debt-to-EBITDA covenant as of September 30, 2025.

On August 26, 2025, we issued the 2032 Senior Notes. We intend to use the net proceeds from the 2032 Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other uses, redeeming the 2025 Senior Notes. We redeemed our 2025 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on September 19, 2025.

Other than described above, there have been no material changes in our borrowings from those reported as of June 30, 2025 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CASH AND OTHER ASSETS – As of September 30, 2025, we held cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted amounts, of $376.4 million, including $213.1 million held by our foreign subsidiaries.

Foreign Operations. Seasonal borrowing needs of our Canadian operations are typically funded by our U.S. operations. To mitigate foreign currency risk, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange forward contracts. There were no forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

We do not currently intend to repatriate non-borrowed funds held by our foreign subsidiaries in a manner that would trigger a tax liability.

The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates during the period on our international cash balances resulted in a decrease of $2.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and in an increase of $3.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS – Except as described in Recent Developments related to the 2025 CLOC, the 2032 Senior Notes issuance and the 2025 Senior Notes redemption, there have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those reported in our June 30, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SUMMARIZED GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Block Financial is a 100% owned subsidiary of H&R Block, Inc. Block Financial is the Issuer and H&R Block, Inc. is the full and unconditional Guarantor of our Senior Notes, CLOC and other indebtedness issued from time to time.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

There have been no material changes in our regulatory environment from what was reported in our June 30, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because these measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures for other companies.

We consider our non-GAAP financial measures to be performance measures and a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business. We make adjustments for certain non-GAAP financial measures related to amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and goodwill impairments. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.

We measure the performance of our business using a variety of metrics, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, free cash flow and free cash flow yield. We also use EBITDA from continuing operations and pretax income of continuing operations, each subject to permitted adjustments, as performance metrics in incentive compensation calculations for our employees.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure:

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may contain forward-looking statements. In addition, our senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words or variation of words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "commits," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "targets," "would," "will," "should," "could," "may" or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management's current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of revenues, client trajectory, income, effective tax rate, earnings per share, cost savings, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, capital structure, market share, industry volumes or other financial items, descriptions of management's plans or objectives for future operations, services or products, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. They may also include the expected impact of external events beyond the Company's control, such as outbreaks of infectious disease, severe weather events, natural or manmade disasters, or changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the Company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive, operational and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. In addition, factors that may cause the Company’s actual effective tax rate to differ from estimates include the Company’s actual results from operations compared to current estimates, future discrete items, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, future actions of the Company, and increases in applicable tax rates in jurisdictions where the Company operates. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Details about risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect various aspects of our business are included throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and are also described from time to time in other filings with the SEC. Investors should carefully consider all of these risks, and should pay
