NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS             (unaudited)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATIONThe consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 and for all periods presented, have been made.
"H&R Block," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" are used interchangeably to refer to H&R Block, Inc., to H&R Block, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or to H&R Block, Inc.'s operating subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our June 30, 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. All amounts presented herein as of June 30, 2022 or for the year then ended are derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATESThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the evaluation of contingent losses arising from our discontinued mortgage business, contingent losses associated with pending claims and litigation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, fair value of reporting units, and related matters. Estimates have been prepared based on the best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS – Our operating revenues are seasonal in nature with peak revenues typically occurring in the months of February through April. Therefore, results for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – Our discontinued operations include the results of operations of Sand Canyon Corporation, previously known as Option One Mortgage Corporation (including its subsidiaries, collectively, SCC), which exited its mortgage business in fiscal year 2008. See note 9 for additional information on loss contingencies related to our discontinued operations.

As of September 30, 2022, deferred revenue related to POM was $146.1 million. We expect that $97.0 million will be recognized over the next twelve months, while the remaining balance will be recognized over the following five years.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, Tax Identity Shield® (TIS) deferred revenue was $21.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively. Deferred revenue related to TIS was $25.8 million and $28.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. All deferred revenue related to TIS will be recognized by April 2023.
NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
EARNINGS PER SHARE – Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of shares of common stock issuable upon the lapse of certain restrictions or the exercise of options to purchase 4.4 million shares and 5.3 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations during the periods.

The decrease in the weighted average shares outstanding is due to share repurchases completed in the current and prior fiscal years.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we granted 0.9 million shares under our stock-based compensation plan. We granted awards of 1.4 million shares under our stock-based compensation plans during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Stock-based compensation expense of our continuing operations totaled $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost for stock options totaled $0.4 million, and for nonvested shares and units totaled $76.9 million.

H&R BLOCK'S INSTANT REFUNDSM H&R Block's Instant RefundSM amounts are generally received from the Canada Revenue Agency within 60 days of filing the client's return, with the remaining balance collectible from the client.
We review the credit quality of our Instant Refund receivables based on pools, which are segregated by the tax return year of origination, with older years being deemed more unlikely to be repaid. We establish an allowance for credit losses at an amount that we believe reflects the receivable at net realizable value. In December of each year we charge-off the receivables to an amount we believe represents the net realizable value.
Balances and amounts on non-accrual status and classified as impaired, or more than 60 days past due, by tax return year of origination, as of September 30, 2022 are as follows:

Our unsecured committed line of credit (CLOC) provides for an unsecured senior revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which includes a $175.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $50.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. We may request increases in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility of up to $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from lenders and meeting certain other conditions. The CLOC will mature on June 11, 2026, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the CLOC, at which time all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable. Our CLOC includes an annual facility fee, which will vary depending on our then current credit ratings.
The CLOC is subject to various conditions, triggers, events or occurrences that could result in earlier termination and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation: (1) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the CLOC agreement, calculated on a consolidated basis of no greater than (a) 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on March 31, June 30, and September 30 of each year and (b) 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on December 31 of each year; (2) a covenant requiring us to maintain an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA-to-interest expense) calculated on a consolidated basis of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last date of any fiscal quarter; and (3) covenants restricting our ability to incur certain additional debt, incur liens, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell or dispose of assets (including equity interests), liquidate or dissolve, engage in certain transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. The CLOC includes provisions for an equity cure which could potentially allow us to independently cure certain defaults. Proceeds under the CLOC may be used for working capital needs or for other general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with these requirements as of September 30, 2022.

We had no outstanding balance under our CLOC and amounts available to borrow were limited by the debt-to-EBITDA covenant to approximately $1.47 billion as of September 30, 2022.
NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and file tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax returns are typically examined and either settled upon completion of the examination or through the appeals process. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2015, 2016, 2019 and later years remain open for examination. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2018, 2017, 2014 and all years prior to 2014 are closed. On October 4, 2022, the IRS notified us that it plans to audit our 2020 tax return and related carryback claims. With respect to federal, state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the U.S., we are typically subject to examination for three to six years after the income tax returns have been filed. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, we believe that adequate amounts of tax, interest, and penalties have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for any adjustments that might be incurred due to federal, state, local or foreign audits.
