The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the past four quarters, with a surprise of 19.2% on average.
Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $200 million, indicating a sequential decrease of 81%. The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.04 per share against earnings of $1.43 per share registered in the prior quarter.
The expected sequential decline is mainly due to the seasonality of HRB’s business. As most of the company’s clients file their tax returns in the months of February, March and April, a significant majority of revenues from income tax return preparation and related services and products are generated in these three months. The company generally operates at a loss in the first two quarters of a fiscal year.
Overall, HRB is expected to continue its progress with Block Horizons — a five-year strategy focusing on using human expertise and technological infrastructure to drive innovation — in the quarter.
The strategy aims to build strong relationships with small businesses through Wave and Block Advisors, develop Emerald Card as a consumer-centric, mobile-first solution for the underbanked, and make taxation faster and more personalized by integrating human expertise with digital tools.
