The earnings call presented a mixed picture with strong growth in cemetery revenue and preneed sales production, but faced challenges in the funeral segment with a decline in revenue and increased costs. The higher tax rate also negatively impacted earnings per share.
Company Guidance
During the SCI Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the management team provided detailed guidance and metrics for the quarter and the rest of the fiscal year. Adjusted earnings per share for Q3 2025 increased by more than 10% to $0.87 compared to $0.79 in the same period last year. This growth was driven by a $31 million or nearly 7% increase in cemetery revenue, while funeral revenues saw a slight decline. The core cremation rate rose modestly by 50 basis points to 57.3%. SCI's preneed funeral sales production increased by $6 million or about 2% from 2024, with core preneed funeral sales production seeing a 9% increase. For the full year 2025, SCI narrowed its normalized earnings per share guidance to a range of $3.80 to $3.90 and slightly raised its cash flow outlook due to stronger working capital trends and anticipated lower cash taxes. The company also discussed favorable trends in funeral volume, average revenue per funeral service, and preneed cemetery sales, projecting long-term earnings per share growth within an 8% to 12% range.
