H&R BLOCK REPORTS 13 PERCENT INCREASE IN FOURTH QUARTER EPS;
UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR GUIDANCE SET AT $4.25 TO $4.65 PER SHARE

Company Announces Two-for-One Stock Split, Dividend Increase

FOR RELEASE JUNE 8, 2005, 4 p.m. EDT

     KANSAS CITY, Mo. – H&R Block Inc. (NYSE:HRB) today reported record fourth quarter results, driven by revenue growth in each of its lines of business. Fourth quarter revenues increased 7.2 percent over the prior year’s quarter to $2.4 billion. Revenues for the fiscal year were $4.4 billion, a 4.1 percent increase over the prior year.

     Consolidated net income for the fourth quarter increased 6.9 percent to $616.5 million. Consolidated net income for the fiscal year declined 10.5 percent to $635 million. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter increased 13 percent to $3.66. For the fiscal year, earnings per diluted share decreased 4.1 percent to $3.76.

     “We finished our fiscal year on a very high note,” said Mark A. Ernst, H&R Block’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We successfully completed an important transition year in our tax business, saw our mortgage business returning to more normalized levels of profitability, finished a stellar year at RSM McGladrey, and achieved important changes in our investment services organization during the quarter.

     “For our U.S. tax operations, opening more than 1,200 new retail locations this year was an important first step in positioning us for future client growth as these new locations mature.

     “Increasing our mortgage sales staff resulted in a 33 percent increase to loan origination volume for the year. At the same time, we are lowering our cost of origination to succeed in a more competitive environment,” Ernst said.

Fiscal 2006 Outlook

     For fiscal year 2006, the company said it expects earnings per share in the range of $4.25 to $4.65.

     “Our focus on building our business for the long term is expected to deliver strong financial results in the coming year,” Ernst said.

Restated Results

     The company said that it will restate its results for fiscal years 2004 and 2003, as well as previously reported quarterly results for fiscal 2005, making several changes that it believes collectively will result in an estimated 6-cent increase in earnings per share in fiscal 2004, and an estimated 8-cent decrease in earnings per share in fiscal 2003. The restatement had the effect of adding 14 cents per share to fiscal 2005 results reported prior to the fourth quarter. The decision to restate was based on the cumulative impact of the items.

     The company has not completed its analysis of the restatement adjustments, and accordingly, the effects of the restatement are preliminary and subject to change. These adjustments are being reviewed with the company’s current and former auditors, and additional detail will be provided later in the company’s Form 8-K and 10-K filings.

Board Actions

     Reflecting the company’s strong financial position, H&R Block’s board of directors approved a two-for-one split of the company’s common stock. The stock split will be effective Aug. 22, 2005, in the form of a 100 percent stock distribution payable to stockholders of record as of the close of business Aug. 1, 2005.

     The board also approved a 13.6 percent increase of the quarterly cash dividend, effective with the quarterly dividend payment on Oct. 3, 2005 to shareholders of record on Sept. 12, 2005. After the stock split noted above, the quarterly cash dividend will increase from 11 cents to 12.5 cents per share. This payment will be the company’s 172^nd consecutive quarterly dividend.

     “Today’s actions by the board, along with our ongoing share repurchase, are key ways that we return value to our investors,” Ernst said. “In the past year, the company has reacquired $530 million, or 11.3 million of its shares, another measure of our confidence in the company’s future.”

Tax Services

     Tax services’ fourth quarter revenues increased 6.1 percent to $1.7 billion. Fiscal year revenues rose 7.6 percent to $2.4 billion.

     Pretax income for tax services’ fourth quarter increased 4.9 percent to $845.7 million. For the fiscal year, pretax income was up 4 percent to $663 million.

     Clients served in retail offices declined 0.1 percent for the tax season, compared with a 3.2 percent decline the prior year. Digital tax solutions clients decreased 6.3 percent.

     “This year’s retail location expansion is part of a multi-year plan to more aggressively compete and reclaim market share,” Ernst said. “The expansion contributed to a significant increase in early season clients, reversing a two-year trend of declining client traffic. In addition, the expansion combined with client service improvements made H&R Block more convenient for clients, reduced their wait time, and generated significant increases across all measures of client satisfaction, a strong indication that the changes we’re making are working. We plan to continue our expansion program, adding approximately 500 to 700 new offices to our company-owned and franchised network in fiscal 2006.

     “While we’re disappointed in our digital tax solutions results, we are encouraged by increasing consumer use of our services that blend digital technology with tax professional assistance,” Ernst said. “We recognize that digital services are an important and growing client channel, and work has already begun to compete more aggressively and capture a larger market share in the coming tax season.”

Mortgage Services

     Mortgage services, which include Option One Mortgage Corp. and H&R Block Mortgage Corp., reported a record $9.3 billion in loan originations for the fourth quarter, driving total originations for the year to $31 billion, an increase of 33.3 percent over fiscal year 2004.

     Fourth quarter revenues increased 8.8 percent to $382.8 million, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Fiscal year revenues declined 5.8 percent to $1.2 billion from the prior year.

     Mortgage services’ pretax income for the fourth quarter decreased 4.8 percent to $166 million. For the fiscal year, pretax income was $495.2 million, a 27.5 percent decline from the prior year.

     “As our fourth quarter results indicate, we’re successfully positioning our mortgage business for the coming year, increasing the number of sales associates, improving their productivity, and lowering our cost of origination,” Ernst said. “These efforts led to a significant increase in loan production, while bringing us closer to our target cost structure.

     “We have structured the business to compete more effectively both in the retail and non-prime markets,” Ernst said, “and we’ll continue to make improvements that will further enhance our operations.”

     The mortgage segment’s total gain on sales was $821 million for the current year, compared to $913.7 million in fiscal year 2004. The decrease in gain on sales is due primarily to aggressive market pricing for loans, which was partially offset by growth in loan originations.

     Included within these results, H&R Block Mortgage Corp., the company’s retail mortgage subsidiary, originated 29.6 percent more loans during the year than the prior year. Loans made to retail clients of other H&R Block businesses represent 35 percent of its total loan production.

     Option One’s mortgage servicing business increased the number of loans serviced 34.2 percent to 435,290. The servicing portfolio at year-end increased 50.1 percent to $68 billion, compared with last year’s portfolio.

     The segment’s residual interests continued to perform better than expected, primarily due to lower than modeled credit losses and favorable prepayment speeds, partially offset by the effect of increased interest rates. Consequently, the company realized a net write-up to residual balances of $95.9 million during fiscal year 2005, including a net write-down of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter, which was recorded in other comprehensive income on the balance sheet, net of deferred taxes.

Business Services

     RSM McGladrey Business Services Inc. reported fourth quarter revenues of $202.3 million, a 12.8 percent increase over the prior year’s quarter. Revenues for the fiscal year rose 14.8 percent to $573.3 million.

     Pretax income for the fourth quarter increased 45.6 percent to $39 million from the year ago quarter. For the fiscal year, pretax income rose 55 percent to $29.9 million.

     “RSM McGladrey and its related businesses finished what can only be viewed as an outstanding year,” Ernst said. “Not only are we capitalizing on the potential to serve mid-sized businesses, but we are on the path to being recognized as the premier firm serving this market.”

Investment Services

     Investment services’ fourth quarter revenues increased 12.5 percent to $69.8 million from the prior year’s fourth quarter. Fiscal year revenues rose 4.3 percent to $239.2 million.

     The fourth quarter pretax loss improved 44.6 percent to $12.9 million, compared with the prior year’s quarter. For the fiscal year, the pretax loss improved 0.7 percent to $68.1 million.

     “We’ve taken a number of actions to dramatically restructure this business, moving to more closely align its costs with its near-term revenue potential,” Ernst said. “We’ve also stepped up our efforts to enhance our advisors’ productivity, focusing on programs that will create stronger partnerships with our U.S. tax professionals.

     “Our focus in the upcoming year is on reducing costs as well as attracting and retaining productive advisors,” Ernst said. “We’ll prudently review all expenditures, measuring them against the segment’s performance to achieve a profitable business environment. We expect fiscal 2006 results to show significant improvement.”

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited

During our fiscal year 2005 closing process, we determined a restatement of our quarterly 2005 and fiscal year 2004 and 2003 financial statements was warranted. We determined a restatement was necessary as the cumulative adjustment required to correct the items was too large to record in fiscal year 2005. The restatement encompasses corrections for the following:

n   Accounting for acquisitions, primarily Olde Financial Corporation in fiscal year 2000;

n   Gain on sale of residual interests in fiscal year 2003;

n   Accounting for leases;

n   Provision for income taxes, arising from a previously reported series of control weaknesses in our corporate tax accounting function;

n   Incentive compensation accrual at April 30, 2004; and

n   Overstatement of capitalized branch office costs.

Financial results referred to in this release reflect preliminary restatement adjustments. We have not completed our analysis of restatement adjustments, and accordingly, the effects of the items noted above are preliminary and subject to change. Because the restatement adjustments have not yet been audited by our registered public accounting firm, all results presented in this release are unaudited. We will file amendments to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the impact of restatement on our previously issued audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements and related disclosures.

On October 26, 2004, we issued $400.0 million in 5.125% Senior Notes, due in 2014. The proceeds from the notes were used to repay our $250.0 million in 6³/4% Senior Notes, which were due on November 1, 2004. The remaining proceeds were used for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of other debt and other general corporate purposes.

We adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21) as of May 1, 2003. As a result of the adoption of EITF 00-21, we recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $6.4 million, net of tax benefit of $4.0 million.

Basic earnings per share 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.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we redefined our reportable segments. The previously reported International Tax Operations and U.S. Tax Operations segments are now reported as the Tax Services segment.
