(NYSE: HRB) (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) today released financial results<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am pleased with our performance in the first half of the year,&#8221; said Jeff Jones, president and chief executive officer. &#8220;We are reaffirming our fiscal 2025 outlook, and are well prepared to deliver this tax season and in the second half of the fiscal year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fiscal 2025 Second<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Quarter Results and Key Financial Metrics<\/strong><br>&#8220;We are on track for the year and we are well positioned to deliver strong results,&#8221; said Tiffany Mason, chief financial officer. &#8220;During the second quarter, we repurchased 3.2 million shares for $190 million, reflecting our confidence in the long-term value of our stock and our commitment to delivering shareholder returns.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second quarter, the Company delivered total revenue of $179.1 million, which was flat to the prior year. Increases in revenue from Wave and international tax preparation were offset by lower interest and fee income on Emerald Advance<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;due to a decrease in loan originations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total operating expenses of $472.4 million increased by $25.8 million as expected, primarily due to higher tax professional and corporate wages, increased healthcare costs, an increase in occupancy costs and the timing of marketing expenses versus the prior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretax loss increased by $29.4 million to $312.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loss per share from continuing operations<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;increased to $(1.79) from $(1.33) and adjusted loss per share from continuing operations<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;increased to $(1.73) from $(1.27), due to a higher net loss and fewer shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases, which are accretive to earnings per share on a full-year basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Capital Allocation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company reported the following related to its capital structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repurchased and retired 3.2 million shares at an aggregate price of $190.5 million, or $58.65 per share in the second quarter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Company has approximately $1.1 billion remaining on its $1.5 billion share repurchase program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2016, the Company has returned more than $4.4 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases, buying back over 43% of its shares outstanding<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook Reaffirmed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company continues to expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Revenue to be in the range of $3.69 to $3.75 billion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EBITDA<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0to be in the range of $975 million to $1.02 billion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Effective tax rate to be approximately 13%, resulting in a one-time benefit to EPS of approximately 50 cents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0to be in the range of $5.15 to $5.35.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conference Call<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company will host a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss second quarter 2025 results at 4:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.

For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures, including the reasons management uses each measure, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled &#8220;Non-GAAP Financial Information.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. 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 &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;commits,&#8221; &#8220;seeks,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;forecasts,&#8221; &#8220;targets,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;goal,&#8221; &#8220;could&#8221; or &#8220;may&#8221; or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management&#8217;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\u2019s plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. They may also include the expected impact of external events beyond the Company\u2019s 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&#8217;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 and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the Company&#8217;s control, that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year in the section entitled &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; and additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may get such filings for free at our website at https:\/\/investors.hrblock.com. In addition, factors that may cause the Company\u2019s actual estimated effective tax rate to differ from estimates include the Company\u2019s 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, or increases in applicable tax rates in jurisdictions where the Company operates. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;All amounts in this release are unaudited. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons refer to the current period compared to the corresponding prior year period.<br><sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;All per share amounts are based on fully diluted shares at the end of the corresponding period. The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures of performance, including adjusted earnings per share (EPS), earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations, free cash flow, and free cash flow yield, which it considers to be useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of the Company. See &#8220;About Non-GAAP Financial Information&#8221; below for more information regarding financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).<br><sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;Shares outstanding calculated as of April 30, 2016.<br><sup>4<\/sup>&nbsp;Adjusted Diluted EPS and EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP financial measures. Future period non-GAAP outlook includes adjustments for items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items described in the below section titled \u201cNon-GAAP Financial Information\u201d and in the accompanying tables. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as nonrecurring, unusual, or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this non-GAAP outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 from continuing operations, each subject to permitted adjustments, as performance metrics in incentive compensation calculations for our employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2014 Repurchased $190 Million of Shares\u2014 \u2014 Reaffirms Full Year Outlook \u2014 KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; H&amp;R Block, Inc.
