Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the SCI Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, management provided guidance on a range of financial metrics. They reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.88, marking an 11% increase from the previous year. Funeral revenue rose by over $15 million, or 3%, and funeral gross profit increased by about $15 million, with a gross profit percentage rise of 210 basis points. Despite a 9% decrease in preneed funeral sales production, cemetery revenue saw a nearly 1% increase, driven by a $3 million rise in at-need revenue. Looking ahead, SCI reaffirmed its normalized earnings per share guidance for 2025 at $3.70 to $4 and raised its cash flow outlook due to improved working capital trends and anticipated lower cash taxes, with expectations for growth in both funeral and cemetery segments in the latter half of 2025. The company also expects preneed cemetery and funeral sales production to grow at low to mid-single-digit percentages. Additionally, adjusted operating cash flow for the quarter was $168 million, and SCI plans to invest $75 million to $125 million in acquisitions in 2025.
