Liberty TaxWith fees from sales of franchises up sharply and costs down, JTH Holding, the parent of franchisor Liberty Tax Service, reported a 47.4-percent rise in net income on a 12.7-percent increase in revenue for the year ended April 30. That contrasted with the results of rivals, a 2.5-percent decrease at H&R Block, and Chapter 11 bankruptcy at Jackson Hewitt.

Net income for fiscal 2011 was $15.8 million, compared to just over $11 million the prior year. Revenue reached $95.5 million in the most recently ended year, a rise from $84.6 million for fiscal 2010. Franchisee fee income hit $13.1 million, a 36.5-percent increase from $9.6 million.

 

With expenses falling, operating income reached $28.5 million, an increase of 74.3 percent from $16.4 million in 2010.

Liberty is still dwarfed by Block and Jackson Hewitt. For fiscal 2011, Block had net income of $406.1 million, a decline of 15.3 percent from $479.2 million the prior year. Its revenue fell to $3.77 billion for the most recently ended year, down from $3.87 billion the prior year.
