Company Perspective
“I’m very pleased with the improvement in our second quarter results, which reflect savings from our cost reduction initiatives and a strong tax season in Australia,” said Bill Cobb, H&R Block’s President and CEO. “The U.S. tax season is right around the corner and we believe we’re on pace to deliver significant earnings and margin expansion in fiscal 2013.”
Business Segment Results and Highlights
Tax Services
|
§
|
Revenues grew by $9 million, or 7 percent, to $130 million, primarily due to an 8 percent increase in tax returns prepared in Australia

|
§
|
Pretax loss improved by 25 percent or $44 million, to $130 million
|
|
§
|
Adjusted pretax loss improved by 17 percent or $26 million, to $130 million primarily due to lower field wages and occupancy costs resulting from the company’s cost reduction initiatives
|
Corporate
|
§
|
Revenues declined by $1 million due to lower interest income from H&R Block Bank’s shrinking mortgage loan portfolio
|
|
§
|
Pretax loss increased by $2 million, or 7 percent, to $32 million
|
Second Quarter Results from Discontinued Operations
|
§
|

|
§
|
SCC received new claims during the quarter for alleged breaches of representations and warranties in the principal amount of $10 million
|
|
§
|
SCC reviewed claims in the principal amount of $257 million during the quarter; no losses were charged against SCC’s accrual for contingent losses related to representations and warranties during the quarter
|
|
§
|
$28 million of claims remained subject to review at Oct. 31, 2012
|
|
§
|
SCC’s accrual for contingent losses related to representations and warranties remained essentially unchanged at $129 million
|

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain 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 “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could” or “may” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management'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, income, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, liquidity, capital structure or other financial items, descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the Company’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’s control and which are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” as well as additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basic earnings per share is computed using the two-class method and is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is included in diluted earnings per share, except in those periods with a loss from continuing operations.
On October 25, 2012, we issued $500.0 million of 5.50% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are due November 1, 2022, and are not redeemable by the bondholders prior to maturity. On October 25, 2012, we provided notice to the trustee of our intention to redeem the entire principal amount of the $600.0 million Senior Notes due in January 2013. The redemption settled on November 26, 2012 at a price of $623.0 million. Proceeds of the $500.0 million Senior Notes and other cash balances were used to repay the $600.0 million Senior Notes.
