NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The consolidated balance sheets as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive ~~loss~~income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, and the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 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, 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. All amounts presented herein as of June 30, 2022 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 arising from our discontinued mortgage business, contingent losses associated with pending claims and litigation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, fair value of reporting units, and related matters. 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 (including its subsidiaries, collectively, SCC), which exited its mortgage business in fiscal year 2008. See note 9 for additional information on loss contingencies related to our discontinued operations.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, deferred revenue related to POM was ~~$128.9~~$182.4 million. We expect that ~~$94.8~~$103.3 million will be recognized over the next twelve months, while the remaining balance will be recognized over the following five years.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, Tax Identity Shield® (TIS) deferred revenue was ~~$16.8~~$33.3 million and ~~$18.5~~$37.4 million, respectively. Deferred revenue related to TIS was $25.8 million and $28.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. All deferred revenue related to TIS will be recognized by April ~~2023.~~2024.

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 ~~4.5~~0.7 million and 0.6 million shares for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022 and 5.1 million shares for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021,~~ ~~as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations during the periods.~~2023,


H&R Block, Inc. ~~\|Q2~~\|Q3 FY2023 Form 10-Q			7

H&R BLOCK'S INSTANT REFUNDSM – H&R Block's Instant RefundSM 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 to an amount we believe represents the net realizable value.

Balances and amounts on non-accrual status and classified as impaired, or more than 60 days past due, by tax return year of origination, as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 are as follows:

Our unsecured committed line of credit (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 CLOC will mature on June 11, 2026, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the CLOC, at which time all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable. Our CLOC includes an annual facility fee, which will vary depending on our then current credit ratings.

The 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 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 CLOC


~~H&R Block, Inc.~~ ~~\|Q2 FY2023 Form 10-Q~~			11

~~Table of Contents~~

includes provisions for an equity cure which could potentially allow us to independently cure certain defaults. Proceeds under the CLOC may be used for working capital needs or for other general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with these requirements as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

We had anno outstanding balance ~~of $580.0 million~~ under our CLOC and amounts available to borrow were ~~not~~ limited by the debt-to-EBITDA covenant asto approximately $1.4 billion of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

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. Tax returns are typically examined and either settled upon completion of the examination or through the appeals process. With respect to federal, state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the U.S., we are typically subject to examination for three to six years after the income tax returns have been filed. On November 7, 2022, the IRS commenced their examination of our 2020 tax return and related carryback claims to tax years 2015 through 2018. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, we believe that adequate amounts of tax, interest, and penalties have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for any adjustments that might be incurred due to federal, state, local or foreign audits.

We had gross unrecognized tax benefits of ~~$221.3~~$256.3 million and $232.0 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The gross unrecognized tax benefits ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$10.7~~$24.3 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~

March 31, ~~2022 due to expiration of statutes and settlements with state tax authorities.~~2023. We believe it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately ~~$34.0~~$53.5 million within the next twelve months. The anticipated decrease is due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and anticipated closure of various matters currently under examination or in appeals. For such matters where a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits is not yet deemed reasonably possible, no estimate has been included.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations, including the effects of discrete tax items, was ~~25.2%~~23.3% and ~~31.7%~~8.1% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

The discrete tax benefit recorded in the prior period primarily resulted from federal and state statute of limitations expirations.

~~Consistent with prior years,~~ The impact discrete tax items have on our pretax loss for the six months ended December 31, 2022 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 six months ended December 31, 2022 reflects management’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate ~~applied to year-to-date loss from continuing operations adjusted for~~through the third quarter are slightly exaggerated versus the impact discrete tax ~~impact of discrete~~ items ~~for~~have on the ~~periods presented.~~full fiscal year tax rate.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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. DIY tax returns are covered by our 100% accuracy guarantee, whereby we will reimburse a client up to a maximum of $10,000 if our software makes an arithmetic error that results in payment of penalties and/or interest to the IRS that a client would otherwise not have been required to pay. Our liability related to estimated losses under the 100% accuracy guarantee was ~~$11.7~~$14.6 million and $14.0 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 ~~$21.4~~$19.9 million and $12.9 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 revolving lines of credit. Our total obligation under these lines of credit was ~~$21.1~~$20.4 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, and net of amounts drawn and outstanding, our remaining commitment to fund totaled ~~$7.4~~$9.6 million.

In March 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to provide economic and other relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes, among other items, provisions relating to refundable employee retention payroll tax credits. Due to the complex nature of the employee retention credit computations, any benefits we may receive are uncertain and may significantly differ from our current estimates. We plan to record any benefit related to these credits upon both the receipt of the benefit and the resolution of the uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the completion of any potential audit or examination, or the expiration of the related statute of limitations. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we received ~~$12.1~~$13.2 million related to these credits and recognized ~~$3.2~~$3.7 million as an offset to related operating expenses. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, we had deferred balances of ~~$13.9~~$14.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which is recorded in deferred revenue and other current liabilities.

Emerald AdvanceSM lines of credit (EAs) are originated by PathwardTM N.A. (Pathward). We purchase a 90% participation interest, at par, in all EAs originated by Pathward in accordance with our participation agreement. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the principal balance of purchased participation interests for the current year totaled ~~$270.4~~$277.9 million.

Refund Advance loans are originated by Pathward and offered to certain assisted U.S. tax preparation clients, based on client eligibility as determined by Pathward. We pay fees primarily based on loan size and customer type. We have provided a guarantee up to $18.0 million related to certain loans to clients prior to the IRS accepting electronic filing. At March 31, 2023, we accrued an estimated liability of $0.8 million related to this guarantee, compared to $0.6 million at March 31, 2022.

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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. 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


~~H&R Block, Inc.~~ ~~\|Q2 FY2023 Form 10-Q~~			13

~~Table of Contents~~

operations, and cash flows. Our total accrued liabilities were ~~$1.6~~$4.0 million and $1.7 million as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, 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.


14			Q3 FY2023 Form 10-Q\| H&R Block, Inc.

Table of Contents

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.

LITIGATION, CLAIMS OR OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES PERTAINING TO CONTINUING OPERATIONS –

~~Free File Litigation.~~ On May 6, 2019, the Los Angeles City Attorney filed a lawsuit on behalf of the People of the State of California in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (Case No. 19STCV15742). The case is styled The People of the State of California v. HRB Digital LLC, et al.al. The complaint alleges that H&R Block, Inc. and HRB Digital LLC engaged in unfair, fraudulent and deceptive business practices and acts in connection with the IRS Free File Program in violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, California Business and Professions Code §§17200 et seq. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, restitution of monies paid to H&R Block by persons in the State of California who were eligible to file under the IRS Free File Program for the time period starting 4 years prior to the date of the filing of the complaint, pre-judgment interest, civil penalties and costs. The City Attorney subsequently dismissed H&R Block, Inc. from the case and amended its complaint to add HRB Tax Group, Inc. We filed a motion for summary judgment, which was ~~denied on December 1, 2022.~~denied. A trial date is set for August 14, 2023. We have not concluded that a loss related to this matter is probable, nor have we accrued a liability related to this matter.

We have ~~also~~ received and are responding to certain governmental inquiries relating to the IRS Free File ~~Program.~~Program and our DIY tax preparation services. In February 2023, we received a demand and draft complaint from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) relating to our DIY tax preparation services. The Company has been discussing potential resolution of the matter with the FTC. If we are not able to reach a resolution, the FTC may seek resolution through litigation. We have not concluded that a loss related to these matters is probable, nor have we accrued a liability related to these matters.

DISCONTINUED MORTGAGE OPERATIONS – Although SCC ceased its mortgage loan origination activities in December 2007 and sold its loan servicing business in April 2008, SCC or the Company has been and may in the future be, subject to litigation and other loss contingencies, including indemnification and contribution claims, pertaining to SCC's mortgage business activities that occurred prior to such termination and sale.

~~Table of Contents~~

Parties, including underwriters, depositors, and securitization trustees, have been, remain, or may in the future be, involved in lawsuits, threatened lawsuits, or settlements related to securitization transactions in which SCC participated. A variety of claims are alleged in these matters, including violations of federal and state securities laws and common law fraud, breaches of representations and warranties, or violations of statutory requirements. SCC has received notices of potential indemnification or contribution obligations relating to such matters. Additional lawsuits against the parties to the securitization transactions may be filed in the future, and SCC may receive additional notices of potential indemnification, contribution or similar obligations with respect to existing or new lawsuits or settlements of such lawsuits or other claims. An accrual related to these matters is included in our loss contingency accrual.

It is difficult to predict either the likelihood of new matters being initiated or the outcome of existing matters. In many of these matters it is not possible to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss due to, among other things, the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters and the indeterminate damages sought. If the amount that SCC is ultimately required to pay with respect to loss contingencies, together with payment of SCC's related administration and legal expense, exceeds SCC's net assets, the creditors of SCC, other potential claimants, or a bankruptcy trustee if SCC were to file or be forced into bankruptcy, may attempt to assert claims against us for payment of SCC's obligations. Claimants also may attempt to assert claims against or seek payment directly from the Company even if SCC's assets exceed its liabilities. SCC's principal assets, as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, total

approximately ~~$267~~$266 million and consist of an intercompany note receivable. We believe our legal position is strong on any potential corporate veil-piercing arguments; however, if this position is challenged and not upheld, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

OTHER – 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.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022

Revenues increased $31.9 million, or 1.5%, from the prior year. U.S. assisted tax preparation revenues increased $60.9 million, or 4.4%, due to a 3.7% increase in net average charge combined with higher tax return volumes in the current year. U.S. royalty revenue decreased $8.6 million, or 5.4%, due to lower volumes, partially offset by a higher net average charge in the current year. During the year we purchased franchise offices which results in increasing tax preparation revenues and decreasing royalties as the revenues and returns become company-owned after the acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, our total assisted tax return volume, which includes both company-owned and franchise offices, decreased 2.0% from the prior year.

U.S. DIY tax preparation revenues decreased $8.2 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to lower software sales and a decline in online paid returns during the quarter compared to the prior year. Refund Transfer revenues decreased $14.8 million, or 11.2%, primarily due to fewer Refund Transfers in the current year.

Emerald Card® and SpruceSM revenues decreased $6.3 million, or 12.4%, primarily due to lower card activity in the current year as a result of less funds being loaded to Emerald Cards® in the current year.

Total operating expenses increased $52.8 million, or 4.5%, from the prior year. Field wages increased $45.4 million, or 10.4%, primarily due to higher wages in the current year. Benefits and other compensation increased $9.3 million, or 10.2%, due to higher payroll taxes, employee insurance and stock-based compensation. Occupancy expense increased $6.7 million, or 6.0%, primarily due to higher office repairs and rent. Marketing and advertising expense increased $13.9 million, or 7.1%, due to higher television advertising. Bad debt expense decreased $10.8 million, or 23.9%, due to fewer Refund Transfers compared to the prior year.

Other operating expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 1.6%. The components of other expenses are as follows:

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 2.0% from the prior year due to fewer shares outstanding from share repurchases, partially offset by lower net income compared to the prior year.

U.S. royalties revenue decreased $8.2 million, or 4.8%, due to lower volumes, partially offset by a higher net average charge in the current year.

Through the nine months ended March 31, our total assisted tax return volume, which includes both company-owned and franchise offices, decreased 1.6% from the prior year.

U.S. DIY tax preparation revenues decreased $6.1 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to lower software sales and a decline in online paid returns during the quarter compared to the prior year.

Total U.S. return volume, which includes our assisted and DIY operations, from July 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023 decreased 1.3% compared to the prior year period. Our business is highly seasonal and results for the nine months ended March 31, as well as results for the period ended April 30, may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

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 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.


~~H&R Block, Inc.~~ ~~\|Q2 FY2023 Form 10-Q~~			19

~~Table of Contents~~

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 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 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 ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022. See Item 1 for the complete consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods.

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 $~~89.2~~133.8 million and $~~96.9~~143.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, 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.

In August 2022, the Board of Directors approved a $1.25 billion share repurchase program, effective through fiscal year 2025. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we repurchased $350.1 million of our common stock at an average price of $42.86 per share. In the prior year period, we repurchased ~~$324.6~~$550.3 million of our common stock at an average price of ~~$24.24~~$23.84 per share. Our current share repurchase program has remaining authorization of $900.0 million, which is effective through June 2025.

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 ~~$41.5~~$56.7 million and ~~$39.4~~$52.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Our capital expenditures relate primarily to recurring improvements to

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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

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

The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates during the period on our international cash balances resulted in a decrease of ~~$7.8~~$7.9 million and ~~$3.3~~$1.7 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ respectively.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

As previously disclosed, in 2017 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published its final rule regulating certain consumer credit products (Payday Rule), which the CFPB later limited by removing the mandatory underwriting provisions. Certain limited provisions of the Payday Rule became effective in 2018, but most provisions were scheduled to go into effect in 2019. Litigation in a federal district court in Texas had stayed that effective date, but on August 31, 2021 the judge in that litigation ruled in favor of the CFPB. The plaintiffs appealed, and, on October 14, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit extended the compliance deadline until after the appeal is resolved. On October 19, 2022, the appellate court found that the funding mechanism for the CFPB was unconstitutional and vacated the Payday Rule. On November 14, 2022, the CFPB filed a petition for review with the United States Supreme ~~Court.~~Court, which the Supreme Court granted on February 27, 2023.

We are unsure whether, when, or in what form the Payday Rule will go into effect. Though we do not currently expect the Payday Rule to have a material adverse impact on Emerald AdvanceSM, our business, or our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, we will continue to monitor and analyze the potential impact of any further developments on the Company.

There have been no other material changes in our regulatory environment from what was reported in our June 30, 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders 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 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 income to EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure:

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report and other documents filed with the 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," "goal," "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 the coronavirus (COVID–19) pandemic, including, without limitation, the impact on economic


~~H&R Block, Inc.~~ ~~\|Q2 FY2023 Form 10-Q~~			23

~~Table of Contents~~

and financial markets, the Company's capital resources and financial condition, future expenditures, potential regulatory actions, such as extensions of tax filing deadlines or other related relief, changes in consumer behaviors and modifications to the Company's operations relating thereto.

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.
