Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
As previously disclosed on the Form 8-K and Form 10-K each dated June 15, 2021, H&R Block, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to June 30. As a result, the Company's 2022 fiscal year began on July 1, 2021 and will end on June 30, 2022. The change to the fiscal year end had no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In order to aid in the comparability to historical financial data, the Company has recast select historical financial information and metrics on the basis of a June 30 fiscal year end. Exhibit 99.1 contains recast select unaudited financial information and metrics for the three months ended September 30, 2020, the three months ended December 31, 2020, the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2021.
The recast select unaudited financial information and metrics contained in Exhibit 99.1 does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the two months ended June 30, 2021 and the Company's Annual Report on 10-K for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be 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.
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.
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, EBITDA margin from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and free cash flow. We also use EBITDA from continuing operations and pretax income of continuing operations, each subject to permitted adjustments, as performance metrics in incentive compensation calculations for our employees.
