H&R Block, Inc. reported a consolidated revenue of $3.95 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, marking an increase of $184.4 million, or 4.9%, compared to the previous year. The growth was primarily driven by a 6.1% rise in U.S. assisted tax preparation revenues, which totaled $2.56 billion, alongside a 4.2% increase in the average charge for do-it-yourself (DIY) tax preparation services. The company also noted a 20.8% increase in net income from continuing operations, reaching $736.3 million, and a diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $5.69, up from $4.42 in the prior year.
In terms of operational metrics, H&R Block prepared 11.3 million assisted tax returns and facilitated 3.6 million DIY online paid tax returns during the fiscal year. The company’s total assisted tax return volume saw a slight decrease of 0.1%, attributed to lower franchise tax return volumes, which were impacted by franchise acquisitions. The company’s international revenues also grew by 7.4%, benefiting from favorable foreign currency exchange rates in Canada and Australia, while revenues from its Wave® small business solutions increased by 12.3%.
Strategically, H&R Block has been active in expanding its service offerings and geographic reach. The company repurchased 10.5 million shares of its common stock during the fiscal year and declared dividends of $1.68 per share, reflecting a 12% increase from the previous year. The company also launched a new growth strategy aimed at enhancing its market position and has indicated plans for further acquisitions to drive growth. As of June 30, 2026, H&R Block employed approximately 4,600 full-time associates, with a peak workforce of around 73,400 during the tax season.
Looking ahead, H&R Block anticipates continued growth, although it acknowledges potential challenges from economic conditions, regulatory changes, and competitive pressures. The company is focused on leveraging digital innovations and enhancing customer engagement through its mobile banking app, Spruce℠, and other financial products. Management remains optimistic about the future, emphasizing the importance of strategic execution and market adaptability in achieving long-term objectives.
