Good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us. We have made significant progress in preparing for this year's tax season and executing against Block Horizons, and we're happy to be with you today. I'll begin our prepared remarks by sharing second quarter highlights and discuss why we feel well positioned for tax season 2022. Then I'll provide color on our strategic imperatives, including the launch of Spruce, our new mobile banking platform. Finally, Tony will review our financials, outlook, and how we're creating value for shareholders. Turning to our Q2 results, we built on the momentum from Q1 as revenue increased 12%. We are continuing to appropriately invest while returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, and our repurchases have reduced shares outstanding by 7% so far this fiscal year. Coming off a strong tax season last year, we feel well positioned to serve clients in 2022. We have a compelling value proposition and strong customer metrics and feedback. The season is underway, and we expect filers to seek help as they navigate the ongoing pandemic, tax credits and unemployment. To help navigate these challenges, we have fine-tuned our marketing against even more precise audience segments and continue to optimize our messages and channels to ensure the most efficient mix of advertising spend. Customer feedback has been loud and clear. Help is both what they need and what they know Block for, so we've leaned into that messaging. Our Help Is Here campaign highlights all the ways we can help consumers, virtually to in-person, DIY to fully assisted, and everything in between. For decades, clients have trusted our tax pros to get their biggest possible refund guaranteed. Our 60,000 tax pros have unmatched experience, averaging 10 years at Block, which means we are well equipped to handle clients of any complexity. We are leading the convergence of digital capabilities with human expertise and believe our ongoing technology investments and digital experience will continue to enable us to attract new, younger customers. Through the Block Experience imperative, we've increased our focus on retail and crypto trading by adding functionality in DIY, enhanced training for tax professionals, and specific marketing acquisition messages. In the DIY flow, we optimized onboarding and navigation in order to improve conversion from registration to completion, and we've seen early success based on these changes. We also advanced the product to identify clients who may need help along the way in order to increase adoption of Online Assist and Tax Pro Review. I'm very happy with the progress we've made over the last several years, and our software continues to be awarded top ratings from third parties such as Bankrate and NerdWallet. In addition to digital capabilities, we continue to test ways to improve the efficiency of our labor and physical footprint. For example, in Assisted, our innovative fulfillment network allows customers to provide their data to a centralized queue and then be served by any pro who has capacity, regardless of where they are physically located. This provides efficiency for both our clients and our network. We're also leveraging the same technology with outpost locations for drop-off returns as we continue to evolve and better utilize Tax Pro capacity. In summary, we feel good about our consumer tax business. Turning to our small business imperative, this growing segment offers promising opportunity to expand client services year-round with both Wave and Block Advisors. Together, we are better positioned than ever to serve this market. Wave is focused on the DIY small business owner, while Block Advisors is focused on the small business owner who needs expert help. First, let's discuss Wave. Year-over-year revenue again grew more than 30%, driven by increasing the value of existing customers as well as adding new clients. In the last year, Wave doubled the number of customers paying for more than one product, a testament to the work being done to build a full ecosystem of services for the small business owner. I continue to be pleased with the progress this business is making. Regarding Block Advisors, nearly all of our company offices and approximately two-thirds of our franchise locations are equipped to offer small business services. We've raised the bar with Tax Pro education, more sophisticated lead generation, and better tailored marketing. As you recall, last year, we certified over 20,000 tax professionals in small business. This year, more than half those Tax Pros elected to take a new, even more advanced certification, enabling them to provide specialized advice to our most sophisticated clients. For example, some of these services include complex payroll and bookkeeping solutions, estimating quarterly tax payments to optimize cash flow throughout the year, and complex strategies to help deliver the most tax-advantaged outcomes. We've also taken a step forward in our cross-selling efforts with a new lead generation and sales flow program that automates the process of referring clients from tax professionals to our bookkeepers as we continue to grow year-round services. Now let me share more about our third imperative, financial products. Our mission is to develop solutions that create confidence and ease the financial burden felt by too many while simultaneously enriching our client relationships year-round. Just about 10 days ago, we launched Spruce, our mobile banking platform. This is a meaningful milestone in our journey. We spend 12 million hours in conversations with clients every year about their financial challenges and dreams. Combined with that experience, extensive customer research has highlighted the needs and opportunities in this market. We know that two-thirds of the U.S. population struggle with one or more aspects of their finances, including spending, saving, and planning. We also know that the current financial needs of 8 million of our existing clients are not well-served. Additionally, we already have a large base of Emerald Card users who deposit $9 billion in refunds annually. While several competitors exist, what hasn't existed until today is a mobile-first banking platform from a trusted brand with 66 years of knowledge from helping people with their money. When we look at the competitive landscape, we see a tale of two halves. One are banks who have brand recognition but generally lack trust in modern customer experiences. Two, challenger banks that are feature-rich but don't have deep brand recognition and are trying to build trust. Spruce bridges that gap by combining leading technology and features with our trusted brand and established financial relationships. I am proud of the platform we launched on day one. While others have spent years building what their products are today, we came to market with a very robust feature set. Let me take you through some of the highlights. We have long believed in providing transparency to our customers. That's why we launched upfront transparent pricing for our tax services a few years ago, and that's why there are no monthly or sign-up fees with Spruce. We also pride ourselves on low barriers to entry, such as no minimum balances to open accounts. Its unique savings feature, Spruce Rewards, helps consumers with their goals through personalized notifications and automatic cashback offers from over 10,000 retailers, including Costco, Sam's Club, H&M, Adidas, Office Depot, Shake Shack, and Finish Line. It also provides clients access to a free credit score and helps them understand the factors that impact it. In addition, customers can get paid up to two days early and get access to over 55,000 fee-free ATMs. Additionally, Spruce features tax refund recommendations that enable clients to become effective at saving a part of their refund. During this tax season, we're introducing clients to the platform in the DIY experience and beginning to market to our assisted customers. We will be working every day to acquire clients and increase deposits in their Spruce accounts. The revenue model is largely driven through interchange fees when clients transact, and we have a strong relationship and favorable economics with our partner, MetaBank. We invite you to learn more at a virtual event for analysts in March, where we will demo the product and take a deeper dive into its features. More details will come in the next few weeks. Before turning it to Tony, let me emphasize how strong I feel about our positioning today, the progress we are making, and the path we are on. We continue to advance our operational excellence, blur the lines between human help and technology, drive brand relevance, and make meaningful and innovative progress on our strategic imperatives. I am more excited than ever about where we are going. Now, Tony will cover our financial results. Thanks, Jeff, and good afternoon, everyone. Today, I will review our results from the second fiscal quarter, discuss our outlook and our financial progress and capital allocation strategy. For the second quarter of FY 22, we delivered approximately $159 million of revenue, which increased 12% or $17 million over the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the strength in Emerald Card, as well as payment volumes at Wave. Total operating expenses were $436 million, an increase of $15 million from the prior period or 4%, driven by higher compensation as well as banking charges, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expenses. Interest expense was $23 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 7%, entirely due to the $500 million notes we preemptively issued last June. As a reminder, the interest on the newly issued notes is about half of the interest on the maturing notes, which we plan to pay off by the end of the fiscal year. For the quarter, our pretax loss was $299 million compared to $300 million in the prior year. Our effective tax rate was 37% as we realized a discrete tax benefit during the quarter. We continue to expect the effective tax rate for the full year to be in the 16%-18% range. Loss per share from continuing operations improved from $1.38- $1.09, while adjusted loss per share from continuing operations improved from $1.28- $1.02. Regarding discontinued operations, there were no changes to accrued contingent liabilities related to Sand Canyon during the quarter. For additional information on Sand Canyon, please refer to disclosures in the company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other SEC filings. Overall, we had a strong first half and are again reiterating our FY 22 outlook. We remain confident that over the long term, we can grow revenue 3%-6%, with the bottom line growing even faster than the top line. Please note that our next update on tax season results, filing volumes, and financial performance will be on our fiscal third quarter call in early May. Turning to share repurchases, we continue to be aggressive in Q2. We bought 6.6 million shares at an average price of $24.10, totaling $159 million, and retired another 4% of our float. In total, in the first half of the fiscal year, we have repurchased $325 million, more than 7% of shares outstanding. We have $239 million remaining on our authorization through June thirtieth. We believe this is a good use of capital, especially at today's share price. Since 2016, we have retired more than a quarter of our shares outstanding. Overall, I feel very good about where we are and look forward to finishing the year strong. With that, I will now turn it back over to Jeff for some closing remarks. Thanks, Tony. In summary, we're proud of the progress we've made, the momentum in our business, and the path that we're on. We're confident in our ability to drive shareholder value with both our capital allocation approach today and our future with Block Horizons. As we end our prepared remarks, I owe a debt of gratitude to our associates and business partners for all they are doing. First, I wanna thank the team that built Spruce and brought it to market. I'm so pleased with what they've accomplished in such a short period of time. Second, the team at Wave. This group continues to execute and add value to small business owners, and we've appreciated their steadfast efforts throughout the pandemic. Next, our hardworking associates, franchisees, and Tax Pros who inspire confidence in our clients and communities everywhere. Having already spent multiple days in the field, I can tell you they are in full force this tax season, and I can't thank them enough. Last, but certainly not least, I wanna personally thank Tom Gerke, who recently retired as General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer. Tom has provided strong leadership and strategic counsel over the last 10 years and has been an invaluable partner to me. We wish him all the best. Now, we'll open the line for questions. Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you'll need to press star one on your telephone. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Our first question comes from Kartik Mehta with Northcoast Research. You may proceed with your question. Hey, Jeff. Good afternoon. Hey, Tony. Jeff, I wanted to ask you about just recruiting tax preparers and generally just recruiting for H&R Block. Obviously, every company is going through the difficult time of trying to recruit people, and I'm interested in how H&R Block stands, especially on that tax prep side? Hey, Kartik. I'm very pleased to say that we had an excellent hiring year this year. We think about hiring in two buckets, retention of prior tax pros and then obviously new tax pros each year. Really, given the strength of our business last year, which translated into the earnings of tax pros last year, we had extremely high retention of prior tax pros. As you may recall, every year, we run a nationwide income tax course and hire the best of that course as year one tax pros, and we were able to do that very successfully. It really in all districts across the company this year. Jeff, I know we've talked a little bit about price before, and you've given your thoughts. Obviously, the cost of everything is going up, and inflation is a big part of the story in the economy. I'm wondering if you've changed your perspective at all on what type of price increases might be appropriate for the upcoming tax season. You know, we talked about a couple points of price in the assisted business, and that is what we're planning to execute as the season gets underway. You know, as we continue to look at feedback from clients, we know that we're starting this year with very high retention, high price for value paid for services. We feel that's an appropriate increase. We certainly don't wanna get back to the days of really driving top line exclusively through price. We think it's a good first step as we move back into what we believe we can start taking price, moving forward in assisted. In DIY, you know, we were successful last year at moving a number of levers to drive price in NAC about 20%. We'll continue to be opportunistic and follow the market leader here with how we move price in DIY. Perfect. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanks, Kartik. Thank you. Our next question comes from Hamza Mazari with Jefferies. You may proceed with your question. Hi, this is Mario Cortellacci filling in for Hamza. You just reiterated your 3%-6% growth. Could you just remind us how you get to 6% versus the 3%? What are the building blocks between those two figures? Also, could you just talk about the timeframe, or maybe asked a different way around the timeframe, is your timeline to get there more backend loaded in your five-year plan? Thanks, Mario. Let me just share a few opening comments, and then Tony can jump in as well. One of the things we're really trying to do for you all is break down the components of how we see our ability to drive that kind of growth range. Obviously, it's a range. When we look at just holding share or growing share in the assisted industry, you know, we think we can get a point there. When we think about the role pricing plays, we think about the role that franchise buybacks play. Those are elements that get us in the 3%-4% zone before we layer in the real upside from our strategic imperatives in Block Horizons. That's why we provided that range. Obviously, we're not starting from scratch with small business and financial products, but we're building new sustainable businesses. That's really how we think about the building blocks of that price growth. Tony, please jump in with anything you wanna add. Hey, Jeff, it's Michaela. Tony dropped and is dialing back in. I would also just like to add to that. If you refer back to our Q1 earnings deck, Mario, we broke out a little bit of that growth in more detail. We think of the low end of that guidance being some amount, small amount of modest low-single-digit pricing within the business. That's kinda underpinned by our Block Experience initiative. Then you layer on the 1% growth from franchise acquisition, another 1% growth from Wave, and then to Jeff's point, Block Horizons really is upside to that 3%-6% target. Hope that frames it up a little bit better. Got it. Thank you. Then for my follow-up, I mean, you guys have always talked about working with the underbanked population, and you just talked about or mentioned your new mobile banking platform. Could you just comment on what your competitive set is? In this environment, I guess who are you competing with specifically? I know there's a lot of pop-ups and new entrants to the market with fintechs. I guess could you just comment on that as well? Yes. Absolutely. There's no question that there are a number of competitors in the challenger bank, Fintech space, and that's because the problem in America is large. We know that two-thirds of Americans struggle with some dimension of their financial health. Despite the competitors, that problem remains. You know, this is a large part of our client base. If you think about, you know, call it 20 million clients in America for Block, we know right off the bat, 8 million of them consider themselves underbanked. You know, the addressable market is large, and it includes millions of clients that are currently coming to Block. When we looked at the competitive landscape, and I mentioned this a bit in my prepared remarks, so I'll expand on it. You know, we see that there are obviously the traditional established banks that are moving more and more into offering great technology and mobile applications. The tech is less and less of a differentiator today now that many companies have caught up, but they generally haven't been as feature-rich. The fintechs, on the other hand, have had great user experiences, lots of features, and there are multiples of those. Chime, Varo, SoFi, Dave, MoneyLion, you know, are a few. While they've come out with great products over time, we know that they're starting from scratch in terms of customer acquisition, relationships, building brand awareness, building trust. When we combine, you know, the platform that we have launched with what we know to be a highly trusted brand in Block that people are already coming to for financial transactions, that's really the sweet spot of where we see Spruce playing. You know, this is our day one when we launched. You know, I'm really proud that we come to market with a very feature-rich product that compares against many that have been doing this for years. Obviously, as the year plays out and the years play out, we'll continue to add features and functionality for the customer. Great. Thank you so much. Thank you. Hey, Jeff. Sorry, I had some technical difficulties, but I'm back now. That's all right. Sorry about that. We're good. Thank you. Our next question comes from George Tong with Goldman Sachs. You may proceed with your question. Hi. Thanks. Good afternoon. Labor represents a significant portion of H&R Block's operating expenses. What are you budgeting for labor cost increases for the upcoming tax season? How do you expect pricing increases numerically to compare with labor cost increases? Tony, do you wanna comment on that and obviously specifically around how we pay tax pros and what that looks like? Yeah, sure. Thanks, George, for the question. You know, I think you know that largely the compensation for tax professionals is a commission type structure where we pay a percentage based on the revenue that they generate in their book of business. As revenue goes up or down, then obviously their compensation as an individual goes up and down as well. We always make slight tweaks around the edges, but for the most part, it's highly correlated with the movement in revenue. Specific to your question on price, as we take price increases, the tax professionals would get an incremental amount for that particular tax return, all else being equal, which would obviously a portion flow through to them. I think if you look back over the last several years, it runs somewhere in the 25%-28% range, depending on the year as far as what we're paying to tax professionals per the dollar that they generate. Obviously H&R Block gets a large portion of that benefit, but then the tax professionals also benefit as we drive incremental revenue as well as incremental price. Got it. That's helpful. Can you provide your latest views on what the growth rate for assisted volumes at the industry level would look like for this upcoming tax season, and how you expect volumes H&R Block in assisted to compare with the industry? Yeah, George, I'll take it, and Tony can add on if you want. When we provide our outlook, you know, we still believe that the industry will be flat to slightly down. You know, the variable there is really about the number of those one-time filers. What we've been focused on is communicating with those one-time filers, ensuring that they understand the benefit of filing again. I think unemployment, child tax credit, those things can be compelling reasons to stay in the system and file. That's really the biggest variable. You know, for ourselves, we expect that, you know, our goal is to hold share, but, you know, as we provided in our outlook, you know, flat to slightly down in assisted, again, really driven by those one-time filers. Yeah, I think the only thing I would add is. Very helpful. Thank you. you. Mm-hmm. Oh, thanks, George. I mean, just given the success we had last year, bringing in so many incremental new clients from that first-time filer base and the fact, George, that we gained so much market share last year. You know, as some of those first-time filers will inevitably go back to the sidelines, even though we're doing everything we can to recruit and retain them to continue to file taxes, that's why we're saying that it could be a slight headwind for the industry, and then H&R Block obviously would have our share impact as a result of that. So it's just you know, when you look at it over the two-year basis, we're still gonna be up in clients and up in share. It's just a slight reversion based off the growth we had last year. Yep. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks very much. Thank you. Thanks, George. Thank you. Our next question comes from Scott Schneeberger with Oppenheimer. You may proceed with your question. Thanks very much. Good afternoon. There've been some questions around assisted pricing. Just curious, following up on DIY pricing. We track that pretty closely in the industry and see that basically flat year-over-year for you starting the tax season. Now, you've made comments in the past, seeing an opportunity in DIY to grow the net average charge. Jeff, you just mentioned earlier on Kartik's question that you track the industry leader and kind of follow there. Just curious, what is the strategy for later in the tax season, presuming you're still gonna look to get some pricing this year in the DIY category? Thanks. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, I think the answer in DIY is we have the flexibility to be very dynamic in pricing. It's not a decision we have to make now on what we'll do at the end of the season. We'll be able to watch how the season unfolds in a number of ways. Obviously, the list price and then, you know, what happens with mix, and then finally, what are we seeing in terms of attach products like Online Assist in particular, which we have seen year-over-year 50% growth rate the last couple years. You know, we'll always be dynamic. We'll test different pricing, and we'll see how the category moves as the season plays out. You know, we've done a lot of work since last year just to revisit, you know, how do we continue to improve from registration to conversion in DIY. You know, what are we doing to improve the feature set around things like crypto, et cetera. A lot of changes in how we think about marketing for DIY, including starting marketing much earlier, refining our audience segments, et cetera. A lot of things happening in the DIY business that go along with price. Great. Thanks. Next question. Curious on last year, a industry growth category was increased investor activity at brokerages and stock trades and such, creating more premium or premier level activity. Just curious what you see there on an industry level for this tax season versus that big move up last year. Then specifically, I mean, you mentioned crypto, if that plays in, how H&R Block is positioning within that category in this tax season. Thanks. Yeah, you got it. Again, Tony, please weigh in here. Yeah, we absolutely saw an increase in those Schedule D filers last year, both in assisted and DIY, both retail investing and crypto. So, you know, two different things, same theme. And that's why we really leaned in this year to say, "How do we strengthen our offering in a few different ways?" Number one is improving the user flow in the DIY product. Number two is more advanced training for our tax professionals at retail to understand those dynamics to provide better advice. Number three is leaning into those messages in our advertising, you know, where we are specifically talking about our expertise in those areas. We'll do all three of those things this year and continue to watch the macro trend. Great. Thanks. And just a quick last one from me, and I think it probably is not gonna be much of an answer, but that's why I'm asking it in case it is. We're only one week into the tax season, so I know it's really early to comment on any grand themes, but just anything you're seeing that's unique this year that may be surprising to us that wasn't anticipated, or just too early to tell any themes at this point? Thanks. Yeah. I hate to confirm what you thought might be the answer, but it's too early to tell on any major themes. Obviously, you know, one of the things we're paying close attention to are the child tax credit letters, helping our clients understand the importance of those letters, of matching the dollar amount to their return to not be pulled for special processing. You know, so that's something that's on our radar for sure, just given the, you know, the tens of millions of those letters that went out. But in terms of results or real trends, you know, it's just been a week. Great. Thanks. Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate that. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Alex Paris with Barrington Research. You may proceed with your question. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I am looking forward to the March virtual demos for Spruce Card. I'm wondering, though, if I can get a bit of a preview. I mean, just really how this product works in terms of business process. You know, right now or before the Spruce card, there was the Emerald Card, which loaded a majority of your tax refunds. What'll be different with Spruce? How will Spruce revenues be reported? Will it have its own line item under revenue, or will it land in several buckets? All right. Well, let me give you a little preview, and I'll let Tony tag team on the back end of that. I think the simplest way to think about it is Emerald Card is a product and has been a product developed and positioned simply as a refund load mechanism, highly tied to the tax event in a way for consumers to get their refund and then really spend the balance down almost like a gift card. Spruce, while loading refunds, we anticipate to be a great way for our clients to jumpstart their accounts, is quite different in a number of ways. I think, number one is that there are no hidden fees, no monthly fees, no sign-up fees, no minimum balance fees, no foreign transaction fees, a very large ATM network, all fee-free. It has built into the user experience in the mobile app. A wonderful feature we call Spruce Rewards, which is, without requiring the customer to sign up for anything, automatically delivers cashback from thousands of retailers when they use the card into a savings account. When they open their Spruce account, we'll concurrently open a savings account. The customer can set micro-savings goals for vacation or a pair of shoes or whatever they aspire to. Getting paid faster is a real standard expectation in this category. To be able to get paid up to two days early. Features around credit score, overdraft protection, a number of things that you know on day one make Spruce a very competitive fintech offering. Like I said, you know, this is our day one product we've built over the last 11 or so months, and we'll continue to build value for the customer over time with you know you can imagine the linkage to tax preparation and other things. That's a bit of a preview, and I'll let Tony comment about the economics in more detail. Yeah, Alex. I mean, as you know, we provide a lot of transparency on our, on our products in our MD&A table and our financials. It breaks out an incredible amount of detail. I do expect as this card continues to grow, you know, Spruce may be its own line item. I think early on it'll likely be combined with kind of other bank fees just because the materiality of it in the early days won't be large enough. But one of the things we've been thinking about is how do we provide transparency on, you know, what is that progress? So things like looking at number of sign-ups, dollars loaded, and other early indicators will be something that we're gonna commit to share, you know, in the coming quarters once we kinda get this up and running. Longer term, I think it likely would be its own line item. We are getting a lot of lines of revenue breakout. Consolidating some of those I think will probably be a benefit for everybody at some point, so. Great. Thank you. While I have you, Tony, could you give us a little bit more information on that discrete tax item? It looked kind of on the large side. What was it? Yeah. Related to that, your full- year guidance, does it exclude the discrete tax item, or does it include the discrete tax item? Yeah. It does include it, so we have that contemplated in our guidance that we set at the beginning of the year, so we're not changing that outlook. What it was is we had a statute of limitations expire on some reserves that we'd put up over the last few years, that basically that October period was the expiration. We're able to release those reserves. It was about $50 million, which is why the tax rate during the quarter was pretty unusual. Obviously, getting a higher tax rate in a quarter where you're operating at a loss is a good thing. Usually a high tax rate is a bad thing, but when you're operating at a loss, it's a good thing. It's obviously allowing us to have a low tax rate for the full- year of 16%-18%. You may remember, Alex, I mean, we used to be in the mid-30s from a tax perspective, and we've continued to run in these mid- to high teens for the last several years, which we've just done a really awesome job of taking advantage of some tax planning and you know, ultimately creating a lot of extra cash flow for the company. Obviously, releasing a reserve is not necessarily cash connected this time. Obviously, when we made those tax planning strategies several years ago, that's when we got that cash benefit at that time. Contemplating our full- year outlook and still feel good about the 16%-18%. Great. The last thing is more of a comment. You know, with your change in the fiscal year from April 30th to June 30th, I use FactSet, you know, to gauge consensus. FactSet is all over the board. You know, I think it has some analyst estimates based on the previous quarters and the previous April fiscal year quarters. It's hard to tell how H&R Block did relative to the consensus, but I would point out that you beat my estimates on every line item, revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and EPS. Just wanted to offer you congratulations there. That's it for me. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks, Alex. You know, we've been working to obviously clean that up and, you know, we're in different kind of evolutions with different analysts. I think that's part of the growing pains of changing your fiscal year end. It takes a little bit of time for everybody to get on the new cycle. I think it's been a good change. I'm glad we did it, but it's a little bit painful in the interim. The nice thing is, assuming tax season starts on time, which it already has, and then ends at the expected timeline of April 18th, obviously all of our revenues will be, you know, in the current fiscal year from a tax season perspective. We'll have a clean year to report, and we'll have a nice baseline going forward. versus if we hadn't made the fiscal year change, we would have had a tax season from last year rolling into May 17th, and would have been an unusual comparable. It's a little bit painful making the change. I appreciate everybody's effort and work going into it, 'cause I think we're all gonna be better off once we get to the other side. Thank you. I'm not showing any further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Michaella Gallina for any further remarks. Thank you, Josh. Thank you everyone for joining us today. This concludes our second quarter 2022 financial results conference call. Thank you. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
