Description: HRB H&R Block November 04, 2025
H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) delivers assisted and do-it-yourself tax-return services across the United States, Canada, and Australia, supplementing its core offering with ancillary products such as Refund Transfers, audit-protection plans, prepaid debit cards (Emerald Mastercard and Spruce), short-term “Emerald Advance” loans, Tax Identity Shield, and instant-refund advances. The firm also provides small-business financial solutions-including payment processing, payroll, and bookkeeping-through a hybrid distribution network of company-run and franchised retail offices, as well as online, mobile, virtual, and desktop platforms. Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, HRB operates within the Specialized Consumer Services sub-industry.
Key quantitative touchpoints (FY 2023): revenue of $3.7 billion, a 5 % YoY increase driven largely by higher digital-service adoption and a 12 % rise in average refund-advance loan balances; operating margin of 13 % reflecting cost efficiencies from franchise expansion. Sector-level drivers include seasonal demand spikes during tax-season, sensitivity to changes in tax legislation (e.g., stimulus-related credits), and macro-economic factors such as disposable-income trends and consumer credit health, which influence uptake of refund-advance products.
