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 March 31, 2026 and 2025 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. 6 Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q| H&R Block, Inc.

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 1.3 million and 0.8 million shares for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, H&R Block, Inc. |Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q 7 Table of Contents respectively, and 0.6 million and 0.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, as the effect would be antidilutive.

LOANS TO FRANCHISEES – Franchisee loan balances consist of term loans made primarily to finance the purchase of franchises and revolving lines of credit primarily for the purpose of funding working capital needs. Loans with a principal balance more than 90 days past due or on non-accrual status were $3.0 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. 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.

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 were 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 pu rposes. We were in compliance with these requirements as of March 31, 2026. We had no outstanding balance under our CLOC and amounts available to borrow were not limited by the debt-to-EBITDA covenant as of March 31, 2026 . 12 Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q| H&R Block, Inc. Table of Contents NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and also file income 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 income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and we do not expect it to materially impact our effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Our effective income tax rate on continuing operations, including the impact of discrete tax items, was 8.1 % for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 25.3 % for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Discrete tax items decreased the effective tax rate by 16.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and increased the effective tax rate by 0.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. We recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $77.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a discrete income tax expense of $3.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The discrete income tax benefit recognized during the current year period was primarily attributable to the settlement of an IRS examination of our 2020 U.S. federal income tax return and related carryback claims to the 2015 through 2018 tax years. The closure of the IRS examination resulted in a discrete income tax benefit of $84.1 million, which was recorded in income tax expense. The benefit primarily reflects the release of the related unrecognized tax benefits, including reversal of accrued interest through the date of settlement. Due to the seasonality of our business, the impact of discrete tax items on our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 is greater than the expected impact on our projected full-year effective income tax rate. Changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 are as follows: (in 000s) Balances as of July 1, 2025 $ 266,548 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 528 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years (2,998) Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 16,998 Reductions related to settlements with tax authorities (122,159) Expiration of statute of limitations (1,182) Balance as of March 31, 2026 $ 157,735 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 $ 12.4 million and $ 11.4 million as of March 31, 2026 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 $ 28.0 million and $ 29.6 million as of March 31, 2026 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. H&R Block, Inc. |Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q 13 Table of Contents 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 $ 22.6 million at March 31, 2026, and net of amounts drawn and outstanding, our remaining commitment to fund totaled $ 11.2 million. Emerald Advance® term loans are originated by Pathward® N.A. (Pathward). We purchase participation interests, at par, in all EAs originated by Pathward in accordance with our participation agreement. Our participation interest varies by jurisdiction. For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the principal balance of purchased participation interests for the current year totaled $283.7 million, which represents 87% of total EA volume originated by Pathward. 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, 2026 and June 30, 2025, we accrued an estimated liability of $ 2.2 million related to this guarantee. 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 March 31, 2026. 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 $ 13.3 million and $ 6.2 million as of March 31, 2026 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 14 Q3 FY2026 Form 10-Q| H&R Block, Inc. Table of Contents 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 March 31, 2026, 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.
