“Fiscal 2026 was a year of meaningful progress for H&R Block. Strong execution drove accelerating revenue growth, margin expansion, and higher operating cash flow generation, while reinforcing our ability to strengthen client outcomes and deliver disciplined returns to shareholders,” said Tiffany Mason, chief financial officer. “Entering fiscal 2027, we are well positioned to build on this momentum and continue delivering meaningful long-term value.”<\/p>\n

Total revenue of $3.95\u00a0billion increased by $184.4 million, or 4.9%, versus the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of higher net average charge (NAC) and company-owned volume in U.S. assisted tax preparation, growth in international revenue, and an increase in Wave subscription revenue and payments volume.<\/p>\n

Total operating expenses of $3.0\u00a0billion increased by $104.7 million, or 3.6%, versus the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher field wages as a result of increased assisted tax preparation revenue, and higher occupancy costs and technology-related expenses.<\/p>\n

Net income from continuing operations increased by $126.9 million, or 20.8%, to $736.3 million, and earnings per share from continuing operations2<\/sup> increased 28.7% to $5.69.<\/p>\n

During the third quarter, the Company recognized a one-time non-cash tax benefit related to the resolution of an IRS examination. The $84.1 million benefit reduced income tax expense, providing a $0.65 benefit to earnings per share for fiscal 2026.<\/p>\n

Adjusted net income from continuing operations2<\/sup> increased by $44.7 million, or 6.9%, to $688.0 million, and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations2<\/sup> increased 13.9% to $5.31 driven by fewer shares outstanding from share repurchases and higher adjusted net income.<\/p>\n
