The timing couldn’t be better as young adult Gen Z gamers may be unaware of their current tax obligations, and that their 2025 activity could trigger a 1099 form next year. H&R Block offers an immersive gaming experience that is authentically additive in the following ways: Through video ads on the platform, Roblox will feature a custom H&R Block-branded universe, launching on Feb. 28 and accessible to gamers ages 18 and up around the world through March 28, 2025; Users interact with 30-second H&R Block content in exchange for exclusive and limited-edition items for their avatars, making the gameplay experience easier and more enjoyable; A Club Roblox integration will take the H&R Block interactivity a step further. In doing so, users can engage with Max, H&R Block’s “TaxCot,” in a branded in-game tax office within the Club Roblox and Mega Mansion Tycoon games; and With Max’s help, players can complete tasks allowing them to level up – illustrating how it’s better with Block, and that H&R Block makes the tax process easy and convenient, no matter the complexity of the gamer's situation. WHY GAMING: For H&R Block, the most trusted company in tax prep, the addressable audience for potential gaming taxpayers is huge: more than half of 85M+ Roblox’s daily active users are Gen Z, engaging across community-created and brand-created content and immersive experiences.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.9% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Negative equity (-US$368m). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.9% average weekly change). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€6.2m sold). Declared Dividend • Nov 11

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (32% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (31% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 6.5% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. EPS is expected to grow by 7.0% over the next year, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. New Risk • Nov 09
New minor risk - Negative shareholders equity The company has negative equity. Total equity: -US$368m This is considered a minor risk. Being in negative equity means that the company's liabilities exceed its assets, meaning it owes more to creditors than it has in owned assets. While this doesn't mean the company is about to collapse, in the long-term, this is unsustainable. The company may have issues meeting financial obligations, is at risk of becoming insolvent and may have difficulty raising capital, especially more debt, if needed. It should be noted that some of the negative equity could be due to large buybacks of stock, which is not as much of a risk as a company with overwhelming debt, but likewise is not sustainable in the long-term. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Negative equity (-US$368m). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€6.2m sold). Annuncio • Nov 08

H&R Block Introduces First Artificial Intelligence Technology H&R Block announced the launch of new artificial intelligence-powered technology that automatically searches customers’ last year TurboTax return for additional refunds when they switch and file a return this year using H&R Block’s Online DIY product. In initial modeling, this industry-first approach identified millions in additional refunds in last year’s returns filed with TurboTax. Through machine learning models trained with millions of tax returns, AI algorithms, and technology such as optical character recognition, last year’s TurboTax return uploaded by a customer is automatically scanned for additional refunds when they complete a tax return this year using H&R Block’s Online DIY product. The return is then flagged, and the customer is notified. Customers only pay if they choose to file an amended return to claim the past refund amount that was missed. The new capability builds upon the company’s Second Look product. For nearly 20 years, customers have been able to use the Second Look service, allowing an H&R Block tax pro to conduct a manual review of past returns. While Second Look continues to be available to all H&R Block customers, the new AI-powered technology brings an automated review to Online DIY customers that is free of charge. H&R Block’s new AI-powered technology is available immediately to all customers who used TurboTax last year and switch to Block’s Online DIY product in 2023. Annuncio • Jan 25
