The company primarily provides assisted and do-it-yourself tax return preparation services in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

The company's operating expenses also increased by $128.0 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, marketing, consulting, technology, and legal costs. Despite this, H&R Block Inc. reported a pretax income increase of $19.1 million, or 2.5%, and a net income from continuing operations of $609.5 million, marking a 1.9% increase from the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $105.4 million, up from $93.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities totaled $647.4 million, up from $564.3 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher repurchases of common stock and dividends.

H&R Block Inc.'s capital investment for the year included $82.0 million in capital expenditures and $35.5 million in payments to acquire businesses.
