service corporation international
简明联合财务报表附注(未经审计)
1. 业务性质
service corporation international(SCI)是一家控股公司,所有运营均由其子公司进行。我们是北美最大的殡葬产品和服务提供商,拥有在美国和加拿大运营的殡葬服务地点和墓地网络。我们的殡葬服务和墓地运营包括殡葬服务地点、墓地、殡葬服务/墓地综合地点、火葬场和其他相关业务,使我们能够满足各种客户需求。我们在有需要时以及预先需求时出售墓地财产和殡葬及墓地商品和服务。我们努力为家庭提供卓越的服务,帮助他们规划生命庆典和个性化的纪念活动。
丧葬服务场所提供与丧葬和火化相关的所有专业服务,包括使用丧葬设施和机动车辆,安排和指导服务,接运,准备,防腐,火化,纪念,旅行保障和餐饮。丧葬用品,包括埋葬棺材和相关配件,骨灰罐和其他火化容器,外部埋葬容器,鲜花,在线和视频致敬,文具产品,棺木和火化纪念品,以及其他附属商品,在丧葬服务场所出售。
我们的墓地提供墓地产权葬礼权利,包括已开发的地块、草坪墓穴、陵墓空间、火化壁龛和其他火化纪念和安葬选项。墓地商品和服务,包括墓地标记和基座、外部墓葬容器、花卉和花卉摆放、其他附属商品、墓地纪念服务、商品安装和安葬皆在我们的墓地出售。
2. 重要会计政策摘要
合并原则和报告基础
我们的未经审计的简明综合财务报表包括service corporation international及其所有子公司的账户,这些公司我们持有控股权益。在合并中已消除公司间的余额和交易。
我们的未经审计的简明合并基本报表也包括商品、服务和永久墓地护理信托的账目,其中我们有一定的利益并且是主要受益人。在合并信托时,我们保留了专业的行业板块会计准则。虽然我们合并了信托,但这并不会改变信托、我们或我们的客户之间的法律关系。客户是这些信托的法定受益人;因此,他们对这些信托的利益代表了我们的负债。
我们的中期汇总基本报表未经审计,但包括所有调整,包括正常的经常性应计和管理层认为对于公正表述我们在这些期间的结果所需的其他调整。我们的未经审计的汇总基本报表已经按照我们截至2023年12月31日的10-k表年报中描述的会计政策准备,除非在此另有说明,并应与该报告一起阅读。随附的年末汇总资产负债表数据来自经审计的基本报表,但不包括美国一般公认会计原则所要求的所有披露。中期的经营结果并不一定代表全年期间可预期的结果。某些重分类已对前期金额进行,以符合当前期间的披露呈现,且不影响我们的合并净利润或现金流。

财务报表的编制符合美国一般公认的会计原则,要求管理层进行估计和假设,这些估计和假设影响资产和负债的报告金额和变动以及潜在的资产和负债的披露。实际结果可能与估计的结果不一致。
根据美国公认会计原则编制合并基本报表,需要管理层做出可能影响合并基本报表日期资产和负债的报告金额及或有资产和负债的披露,以及在报告期间营业收入和费用的报告金额的估计和假设。因此,实际结果可能与这些估计存在差异。
现金、现金等价物和受限制的现金
我们认为所有原始到期日为三个月或更短的高流动性投资都被视为现金等价物。由于这些工具的短期性质,我们的现金及现金等价物的账面价值大致等于公允价值。

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Segments
In November 2023, the FASB amended the reportable segment guidance by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This new guidance also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures. Upon adoption, we will include the required disclosures in our financial statements and related notes.
Income Tax
2023年12月,FASB修改了指导意见,要求报告实体的有效税率调解提供细分信息,并额外提供有关已支付所得税的信息。新的指导意见自2024年12月15日后开始的年度期间起效,并允许提前采纳。我们目前正在评估这一指导对我们的披露的影响。一旦采纳,我们将在我们的基本报表和相关附注中包含所需的披露。

4. Income Taxes
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items, which are recorded in the period in which they occur. Discrete items include, among others, events such as changes in estimates due to the finalization of tax returns, tax audit settlements, expiration of statutes of limitation, and increases or decreases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate was 21.1% and 24.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 23.1% and 24.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to more excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards.
We actively participate in tax credit equity investments for projects eligible to receive renewable energy tax credits. These investments, accounted for under the equity method, are recorded in Deferred charges and other assets, net of reserves on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon realization, tax credits associated with these investments are recognized as a reduction of tax expense. This reduction is offset by amortization of the investment in proportion to the tax benefits received during the period under the proportional amortization method. During 2024, we recognized investment tax credits and other tax benefits totaling $10.7 million and amortized the equity investment by $10.7 million to reflect the realization of these benefits. This amortization is reflected within the Provision for income taxes in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of September 30, 2024, the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits was $1.3 million and the total amount of our accrued interest was approximately $1.1 million.
联邦法规规定的所有纳税年限已于2021年之前到期,我们目前没有接受IRS审计。各州和外国司法管辖区正在审计2015年至2022年。我们认为,未确认的税收利益的记录金额有可能在未来十二个月内减少$1.3 百万,因为正在结束各州税务事务。.

11. Acquisitions and Divestiture-Related Activities
Acquisitions
We spent $164.2 million and $72.5 million for several business acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This includes $2.3 million of cash acquired. In addition, we acquired $53.3 million and $41.1 million for several real estate acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In the third quarter of 2024, we acquired a total of 10 funeral homes and 2 cemeteries, including one combination location, for $123.4 million in total cash. This includes two separate acquisitions in major metropolitan markets for $120.6 million in cash.
The primary reasons for the acquisitions and the principal factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill in these acquisitions were:
the acquisitions enhance our network footprint, enabling us to serve a number of complementary areas; and
the acquisitions of the preneed backlog of deferred revenues enhance our long-term stability.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the two separate acquisitions (in thousands):

Net assets acquired$120,647 
The purchase accounting is preliminary as we have not finalized our assessment of the fair value because there has been insufficient time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these financial statements to complete our review and final determination of fair value.
Goodwill, land, and certain identifiable intangible assets recorded in the acquisition are not subject to amortization; however, the goodwill and intangible assets will be tested periodically for impairment. Of the $72.7 million in recognized goodwill, $59.1 million is deductible for tax purposes. Of this total, $25.8 million was allocated to our cemetery segment, while $46.9 million was allocated to our funeral segment. Tradenames comprise the identified intangible assets.
We incurred acquisition costs of $0.3 million, which is included in General and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pro forma summary results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 have not been provided as it is impracticable to do so given the extent of integration activities to date.

PART I
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company
We are North America’s largest provider of deathcare products and services, with a network of funeral service locations and cemeteries unequaled in geographic scale and reach. At September 30, 2024, we operated 1,495 funeral service locations and 494 cemeteries (including 307 funeral service/cemetery combination locations), which are geographically diversified across 44 states, eight Canadian provinces, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Our funeral and cemetery operations consist of funeral service locations, cemeteries, funeral service/cemetery combination locations, crematoria, and other related businesses, which enable us to serve a wide array of customer needs. We sell cemetery property and funeral and cemetery merchandise and services at the time of need and on a preneed basis. Our financial position is enhanced by our $16.0 billion backlog of future revenue from both trust and insurance-funded preneed sales at September 30, 2024. Preneed selling provides us with a strategic opportunity to gain future market share. We also believe it adds to the stability and predictability of our revenue and cash flows. While revenue on the majority of preneed merchandise and service sales is deferred until the time of need, sales of preneed cemetery property provide opportunities for full current revenue recognition to the extent that the property is developed and available for use.
We strive to offer families exceptional service in planning life celebrations and personalized remembrances. Our Dignity Memorial® brand serves approximately 600,000 families each year with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail.
Factors affecting our operating results include: demographic trends in terms of population growth and average age, which impact death rates and number of deaths; establishing and maintaining leading market share positions supported by strong local heritage and relationships; effectively responding to increasing cremation trends by selling complementary services and merchandise; controlling salary and merchandise costs; and exercising pricing leverage related to our atneed revenue. The average revenue per funeral contract is influenced by the mix of traditional and cremation services because our average revenue for cremations is lower than that for traditional burials. To further enhance revenue opportunities, we continue to focus on our cremation customers' preferences and remaining relevant by developing additional memorialization merchandise and services that specifically appeal to cremation customers. We believe the presentation of these additional merchandise and services through our customer-facing technology improves our customers' experience by reducing administrative burdens and allowing them to visualize the enhanced product and service offerings, which we believe will help drive increases in the average revenue for a cremation in future periods.
For further discussion of our key operating metrics, see our "Cash Flow" and “Results of Operations” sections below.
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
We have adequate liquidity and a favorable debt maturity profile, which allow us to reinvest and grow our business as well as return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Capital Allocation Considerations
We rely on cash flow from operations as a significant source of liquidity. Our cash flow from operating activities provided $680.8 million in the first nine months of 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we had $1,351.0 million in remaining borrowing capacity under our Bank Credit Facility.
Our Bank Credit Facility requires us to maintain a certain leverage ratio with which we were in compliance at September 30, 2024. We target a leverage ratio of 3.5x to 4.0x.
Our leverage ratio requirement and actual ratio as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:
 Per Credit AgreementActual
Leverage ratio 5.00 (Max)3.78 
We have the financial strength and flexibility to reward shareholders with dividends while maintaining a prudent capital structure and pursuing new opportunities for profitable growth.
Our unencumbered cash on hand, future operating cash flows, and the available capacity under our Bank Credit Facilities will give us adequate liquidity to meet our short-term needs as well as our long-term financial obligations. A portion of our cash on hand is encumbered primarily due to cash balances residing in Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as minimum captive insurance balance and operating cash requirements.
FORM 10-Q 29



PART I
We consistently evaluate the best uses of our cash flow that will yield the highest value and return on capital. Our capital allocation strategy is prioritized as follows:
Investing in Acquisitions and Building New Funeral Service and Cemetery Locations. We manage our footprint by focusing on strategic acquisitions and building new funeral service and cemetery locations where the expected returns are attractive and exceed our weighted average cost of capital by a meaningful margin. We target businesses with favorable customer dynamics and/or where we can achieve additional economies of scale. We continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and build new funeral service and cemetery locations in areas that provide us with the potential for scale.
Return Excess Cash to Shareholders. Absent strategic acquisition or other higher return opportunities, we intend to return excess cash to shareholders. Our quarterly dividend rate has steadily grown from $0.025 per common share in 2005 to $0.30 per common share in 2024. We target a payout ratio of 30% to 40% of after tax earnings excluding special items and intend to grow our cash dividend commensurate with the growth in our business. While we intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, all future dividends are subject to limitations in our debt covenant, and final determination by our Board of Directors each quarter upon review of our financial performance.
Managing Debt. We continue to focus on maintaining optimal levels of liquidity and financial flexibility. We generate a relatively consistent annual cash flow stream that is generally resistant to down economic cycles. This cash flow stream and our significant liquidity allow us to opportunistically manage our debt maturity profile as we maintain a target leverage ratio of 3.5x to 4.0x.
Cash Flow
Our ability to generate strong operating cash flow is one of our fundamental financial strengths and provides us with substantial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $680.8 million and $591.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The $89.3 million increase in operating cash flows from 2023 comprises:
a $63.9 million decrease in cash tax payments,
a $59.7 million increase in cash receipts from customers,
a $39.6 million increase in General Agency (GA) commission and other receipts, and
a $0.1 million decrease in employee compensation payments, partially offset by
a $23.5 million increase in cash interest payments,
a $16.8 million increase in vendor and other payments,
a $18.8 million increase in net trust deposits, and
a $14.9 million increase in payments for certain legal matters.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities used $484.6 million and $356.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $128.0 million increased outflow in 2024 over 2023 is primarily due to the following:
a $89.3 million increase in cash spent on business acquisitions,
a $13.9 million increase in other investing activities primarily for investments in renewable energy tax credits,
a $12.2 million increase in cash spent on real estate acquisitions,
a $9.1 million increase in total capital expenditures which comprises:
a $3.7 million net increase in maintenance capital expenditures, which includes:
a $15.5 million decrease in expenditures for digital investments and corporate,
a $10.6 million increase in expenditures for cemetery property development, and
a $8.6 million increase in expenditures for capital improvements at existing field locations.
a $5.4 million increase in expenditures for growth capital expenditures/construction of new funeral service locations.
a $2.4 million decrease in net proceeds for Company-owned life insurance policies, and

PART I
a $1.1 million decrease in cash receipts from divestitures and asset sales.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used $230.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to using $262.2 million for the same period in 2023. The $31.4 million decreased outflow from 2024 over 2023 is primarily due to the following:
a $142.8 million decrease in purchase of Company common stock,
a $26.8 million increase in proceeds from exercises of stock options, partially offset by
a $132.0 million increase in debt repayments, net of proceeds,
a $5.3 million increase in payments of dividends, and
a $0.9 million change in bank overdrafts and other.
Financial Assurances
In support of our operations, we have entered into arrangements with certain surety companies whereby such companies agree to issue surety bonds on our behalf as financial assurance and/or as required by existing state and local regulations. The surety bonds are used for various business purposes; however, the majority of the surety bonds issued and outstanding have been used to support our preneed sales activities. The obligations underlying these surety bonds are recorded on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Deferred revenue, net. The breakdown of surety bonds between funeral and cemetery preneed arrangements, as well as surety bonds for other activities, is described below.

September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
 (In millions)
Preneed funeral$226.8 $67.8 
Preneed cemetery:  
Merchandise and services135.6 141.3 
Pre-construction56.5 54.6 
Bonds supporting preneed funeral and cemetery obligations418.9 263.7 
Bonds supporting preneed business permits7.9 7.6 
Other bonds27.0 25.4 
Total surety bonds outstanding$453.8 $296.7 
When selling preneed contracts, we may post surety bonds where allowed by state law. We post the surety bonds in lieu of trusting a certain amount of funds received from the customer. The amount of the bond posted is generally determined by the total amount of the preneed contract that would otherwise be required to be trusted, in accordance with applicable state law.
Surety bond premiums are paid annually and the bonds are automatically renewable until maturity of the underlying preneed contracts, unless we are given prior notice of cancellation.
Except for cemetery pre-construction bonds (which are irrevocable), the surety companies generally have the right to cancel the surety bonds at any time with appropriate notice. In the event a surety company were to cancel the surety bond, we are required to obtain replacement surety assurance from another surety company or fund a trust for an amount generally less than the posted bond amount. Management does not expect that we will be required to fund material future amounts related to these surety bonds due to a lack of surety capacity or surety company non-performance.
As of September 30, 2024, we had an increase of $161.7 million in surety bonds supporting preneed funeral obligations related to certain legal matters discussed in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9.
Preneed Activities and Backlog of Contracts
In addition to selling our products and services to client families at the time of need, we enter into price-guaranteed preneed contracts, which provide for future funeral or cemetery merchandise and services. Because preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise and services will generally not be provided until sometime in the future, most states and provinces require that all or a portion of the funds collected from customers on preneed contracts be deposited into merchandise and service trusts until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed. In certain situations, as described above, where permitted by state or provincial laws, we may post a surety bond as financial assurance for a certain amount of the preneed contract in lieu of placing funds into trust accounts. Alternatively, we may sell a life insurance or annuity policy from third-party insurance companies.
FORM 10-Q 31



PART I
Insurance-Funded Preneed Contracts
Where permitted by state or provincial law, we may sell a life insurance or annuity policy from third-party insurance companies for which we earn a commission as general sales agent for the insurance company. These general agency revenues are based on a percentage per contract sold and are recognized as funeral revenue when the insurance purchase transaction between the preneed purchaser and third-party insurance provider is complete. All selling costs incurred pursuant to the sale of insurance-funded preneed contracts are expensed as incurred. We do not reflect the unfulfilled insurance-funded preneed contract amounts in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proceeds of the life insurance policies or annuity contracts will be reflected in funeral revenue as we perform these funerals. In early July 2024, we finalized our agreement to change our preferred preneed insurance provider in the United States, which will allow us to further utilize our scale and streamline our processes across our network.

The funds collected from customers, and required by state or provincial law, are deposited into trusts. We retain any funds above the amounts required to be deposited into trust accounts and use them for working capital purposes, generally to offset the selling and administrative costs of our preneed programs. Although this represents cash flow to us, the associated revenues are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or services are performed (typically at maturity). The funds in trust are then invested by professional money managers with oversight by independent trustees in accordance with state and provincial laws.

Backlog of Preneed Contracts
The following table reflects our backlog of trust-funded deferred preneed contract revenue, including amounts related to deferred receipts held in trust at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Additionally, the table reflects our backlog of unfulfilled insurance-funded contracts (which are not included in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The backlog amounts presented include amounts due from customers for undelivered performance obligations on cancelable preneed contracts to arrive at our total backlog of deferred revenue. The table does not include the backlog associated with businesses that are held for sale.
The table also reflects our preneed receivables and trust investments associated with the backlog of deferred preneed contract revenue, including the amounts due from customers for undelivered performance obligations on cancelable preneed contracts. We believe that the table below is meaningful because it sets forth the aggregate amount of future revenue we expect to recognize as a result of preneed sales, as well as the amount of funds associated with this revenue. Because the future revenue exceeds the assets, future revenue will exceed the cash distributions actually received from the associated trusts and future collections from the customer.

The fair value of our trust investments was based on a combination of quoted market prices, observable inputs such as interest rates or yield curves, and appraisals. As of September 30, 2024, the difference between the backlog and asset market amounts represents $0.17 billion related to contracts for which we have posted surety bonds as financial assurance in lieu of trusting, $1.39 billion collected from customers that were not required to be deposited into trusts, and $0.19 billion in allowable cash distributions from trust assets partially offset by $1.54 billion in amounts due on delivered property and merchandise. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the total backlog comprised $4.58 billion related to cemetery contracts and $11.41 billion related to funeral contracts. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the assets associated with the backlog of trust-funded deferred revenue comprised $4.59 billion related to cemetery contracts and $2.90 billion related to funeral contracts. As of September 30, 2024, the backlog of insurance-funded contracts of $8.29 billion was equal to the proceeds we expect to receive from the associated insurance policies when the corresponding contract is serviced.
Trust Investments
In addition to selling our products and services to client families at the time of need, we enter into price-guaranteed preneed funeral and cemetery contracts, which provide for future funeral or cemetery merchandise and services. Since preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise or services will generally not be provided until sometime in the future, most states and provinces require that all or a portion of the funds collected from customers on preneed funeral and cemetery contracts be paid into trusts and/or escrow accounts until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed. Investment earnings associated with the trust investments are expected to mitigate the inflationary costs of providing the preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise and services in the future at the prices that were guaranteed at the time of sale. Also, we are required by state and provincial law to pay a portion of the proceeds from the preneed or atneed sale of cemetery property interment rights into perpetual care trusts. For these investments, the original corpus generally remains in the trust in perpetuity and the earnings or elected distributions are withdrawn as allowed to defray the expenses to maintain the cemetery property. While many states require that net capital gains or losses be retained and added to the corpus, certain states allow the net realized capital gains and losses to be included in the earnings that are distributed. Additionally, some states allow a total return distribution that may contain elements of income, capital appreciation, and principal.
Independent trustees manage and invest the majority of the funds deposited into the funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trusts as well as the cemetery perpetual care trusts. The majority of the trustees are selected based on their respective geographic footprint and qualifications per state and provincial regulations. Most of the trustees engage the same independent investment managers. These trustees, with input from SCI's wholly-owned registered investment advisor, establish an investment policy that serves as an operating document to guide the investment activities of the trusts including asset allocation and manager selection. The investments are also governed by state and provincial guidelines. All of the trusts

PART I
seek to control risk and volatility through a combination of asset classes, investment styles, and a diverse mix of investment managers.
Asset allocation is based on the liability structure of each funeral, cemetery, and perpetual care trust. Based on the various criteria set forth in the investment policy, the investment advisor recommends investment managers to the trustees. The primary investment objectives for the funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trusts include 1) preserving capital within acceptable levels of volatility and risk and 2) achieving growth of principal over time sufficient to preserve and increase the purchasing power of the assets. Preneed funeral and cemetery contracts generally take several years to mature; therefore, the funds associated with these contracts are often invested through several market cycles.
Where allowed by state and provincial regulations, the cemetery perpetual care trusts’ primary investment objectives are growth-oriented to provide for a fixed distribution rate from the trusts’ assets. Where such distributions are limited to ordinary income, the cemetery perpetual care trusts’ investment objectives emphasize providing a steady stream of current investment income with some capital appreciation. Both types of distributions are used to provide for the current and future maintenance and beautification of the cemetery properties.
As of September 30, 2024, approximately 98% of our trusts were under the control and custody of four large financial institutions. The U.S. trustees primarily use four managed limited liability companies (LLCs), two for funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trust types and two for the cemetery perpetual care trust types, each with an independent trustee as custodian. Each financial institution acting as trustee, manages its allocation of trust assets in accordance with the investment policy through the purchase of the appropriate LLCs' units. For those accounts not eligible for participation in the LLCs or where a particular state's regulations contain other investment restrictions, the trustee utilizes institutional mutual funds that comply with our investment policy or with such state restrictions. The U.S. trusts include a modest allocation to alternative investments. These alternative investments are held in vehicles structured as LLCs and are managed by certain trustees. The trusts that are eligible to allocate a portion of their investments to alternative investments, purchase units of the respective alternative investment LLCs.
Investment Structures
The managed LLCs use the following structures for investments:
Commingled funds allow the trusts to access, at a reduced cost, some of the same investment managers and strategies used elsewhere in the portfolios.
Separately managed accounts are trusts that utilize separately managed accounts, where appropriate, to reduce the costs to the investment portfolios.
Mutual funds employ institutional share class mutual funds where operationally or economically efficient. These mutual funds are utilized to invest in various asset classes including U.S. equities, non-U.S. equities, corporate bonds, government bonds, high yield bonds, and commodities, all of which are governed by guidelines outlined in their individual prospectuses.
Asset Classes
Equity investments have historically provided long-term capital appreciation in excess of inflation. The trusts have direct investments in individual equity securities primarily in domestic equity portfolios that include large, mid, and small capitalization companies of different investment styles (i.e., growth and value). The majority of the equity allocation is managed by institutional investment managers that specialize in an objective-specific area of expertise. Our equity securities are exposed to market risk; however, we believe these securities are well-diversified. As of September 30, 2024, the largest single equity position represented approximately 1% of the total securities portfolio.
Fixed income investments are intended to preserve principal, provide a source of current income, and reduce overall portfolio volatility. The majority of the fixed income allocation for the trusts is invested in institutional share class mutual funds. Where the trusts have direct investments in individual fixed income securities, these are primarily in government and corporate instruments.
Canadian government fixed income securities are investments in Canadian federal and provincial government instruments. In many cases, regulatory restrictions mandate that the funds from the sales of preneed funeral and cemetery contracts sold in certain Canadian jurisdictions must be invested in these instruments.
Alternative investments serve to provide high rates of return with reduced volatility and lower correlation to publicly-traded securities. These investments are typically longer term in duration and are diversified by strategy, sector, manager, geography, and vintage year. The investments consist of numerous limited partnerships invested in private equity, private market real estate, energy and natural resources, infrastructure, transportation, and private debt including both distressed debt and mezzanine financing. The trustees that have oversight of their respective alternative LLCs work closely with the investment advisor in making all investment decisions.

Trust Performance
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index increased 22.1% and the Bloomberg’s US Aggregate Bond Index decreased 4.5%. This compares to SCI trusts that returned 12.8% during the same period, which exceeded our internal custom benchmark. The SCI trusts have a diversified allocation of approximately 60% equities, 27% fixed income securities, 9% alternative and other investments with the remaining 5% available in money market funds.
Recognized trust fund income (realized and unrealized) related to our preneed trust investments was $134.3 million and $121.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Recognized trust fund income (realized and unrealized) related to our cemetery perpetual care trust investments was $73.5 million and $63.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in recognized trust fund income is primarily due to the market returns experienced over the trailing twelve month period.
SCI, the trustees, and the investment advisor monitor the capital markets and the trusts on an on-going basis. The trustees, with input from the investment advisor, take prudent action as needed to achieve the investment goals and objectives of the trusts.

Recognized preneed revenue is excluded from our calculation of comparable average revenue per service because the associated service has not yet been performed.
Funeral Revenue
Consolidated revenue from funeral operations was $566.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $554.8 million for the same period in 2023. This $11.2 million increase is primarily attributable to the $5.9 million increase in revenue from acquired and newly constructed properties and the $7.0 million increase in comparable revenue.
Comparable revenue from funeral operations was $556.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $549.9 million for the same period in 2023. This $7.0 million, or 1.3%, increase is primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in core funeral revenue and a $7.6 million increase in core general agency revenue and other revenue offset by a $5.5 million decrease in non-funeral home preneed sales revenue.
The core funeral revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 1.0%, primarily due to a favorable 2.1% increase in core average revenue per service. This core average growth was achieved in light of an increase in the core cremation rate of 30 basis points to 56.8%. Non-funeral home preneed sales revenue decreased by $5.5 million, or 17.2%, primarily due to a decline of non-funeral home preneed sales production of $8.1 million, or 10.4%, impacted by our transition from trust to insurance-funded contracts. Core general agency and other revenue grew $7.6 million, primarily due to growth in general agency revenue from higher commission rates, primarily as a result of our new preneed insurance marketing agreement.
Funeral Gross Profit
Consolidated funeral gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 1.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in comparable funeral gross profit of $1.5 million, or 1.4%. Comparable funeral gross profit decreased $1.5 million to $107.4 million and the comparable gross profit percentage decreased from 19.8% to 19.3%. The stability in gross profit, in light of modest revenue growth, reflects our continued focus on managing our fixed cost structure.

Cemetery Revenue
Consolidated revenue from our cemetery operations increased $0.9 million, or 0.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in revenue contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties.
The comparable cemetery revenue was flat to prior year primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease in core revenue, which was offset by a $4.8 million increase in other revenue. The decrease in core revenue was driven by a $3.5 million decline in atneed revenue combined with a $1.3 million decrease in total recognized preneed revenue. Growth in recognized preneed merchandise and service revenue of $10.3 million from higher quality sales averages maturing out of the backlog was offset by a decline of $11.6 million in recognized preneed property revenue. Other revenue was higher by $4.8 million, or 16.5%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily from an increase in endowment care trust fund income related to the expansion of our total return investment strategy in certain states.
Cemetery Gross Profit
Consolidated cemetery gross profit slightly increased $0.9 million, or 0.6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, which is primarily attributable to a $0.3 million increase in gross profit contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties and a $0.6 million increase in comparable cemetery gross profit. Comparable cemetery gross profit slightly increased $0.6 million to $144.9 million, and the gross profit percentage increased to 32.4% from 32.3%. This growth in gross profit on relatively flat revenue reflects our continued focus on managing our fixed cost structure.
Other Financial Statement Items
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $43.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 of $33.2 million. The current year third quarter was pressured by long-term incentive compensation plan expenses that were impacted by the growth in our stock price. Conversely, during the prior year third quarter we saw a decline in our stock price benefiting our long-term incentive compensation plan expenses.
Gains on Divestitures and Impairment Charges, Net
We recognized a $3.5 million net pre-tax gain on asset divestitures and impairments in the third quarter of 2024 compared to a $2.5 million net pre-tax gain in the third quarter of 2023 on asset divestitures due to non-strategic asset divestitures.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $4.3 million to $65.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher average balances quarter over quarter on our floating rate debt.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased $2.7 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher investment income from higher investment balances and new investment products compared to the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 21.1% and 24.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to more excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards.
Weighted Average Shares
The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 146.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 152.3 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of shares repurchased under our share repurchase program.

Funeral Revenue
Consolidated revenue from funeral operations was $1,736.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,729.9 million for the same period in 2023. This $6.6 million increase is primarily attributable to $15.8 million of growth in revenue contributed by acquired and newly constructed properties offset by a $6.4 million decrease in comparable revenue as described below.
Comparable revenue from funeral operations was $1,714.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,720.6 million for the same period in 2023. The $6.4 million decrease was due to a $24.8 million decrease in non-funeral home preneed sales revenue, partially offset by an increase of $12.6 million in core general agency and other revenue.
Non-funeral home preneed sales revenue decreased by $24.8 million primarily due to a decline of non-funeral home preneed sales production of $10.5 million, or 4.5%, impacted by our transition from trust to insurance-funded contracts. Core general agency and other revenue grew $12.6 million, primarily due to growth in general agency revenue from higher commission rates, primarily as a result of our new preneed insurance marketing agreement.
Funeral Gross Profit
Consolidated funeral gross profit decreased $34.6 million, or 9.2%, in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease is primarily attributable to the $36.2 million, or 9.7%, decrease in comparable funeral gross profit. Comparable funeral gross profit decreased $36.2 million to $338.1 million and the comparable gross profit percentage decreased from 21.8% to 19.7%. This decrease is primarily due to the decline in revenue described above coupled with higher fixed costs, including the timing of incentive compensation costs compared to the prior year.

Cemetery Revenue
Consolidated revenue from our cemetery operations increased $42.8 million, or 3.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a $33.1 million, or 2.5%, increase in comparable cemetery revenue and a $10.7 million increase in revenue contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties.
The $33.1 million, or 2.5%, increase in comparable cemetery revenue was primarily attributable to a $21.3 million increase in comparable cemetery core revenue. This increase was primarily a result of a $25.8 million increase in total recognized preneed revenue, which benefited from growth in comparable preneed sales production of $10.4 million, or 0.8%, and trust fund income.
Cemetery Gross Profit
Consolidated cemetery gross profit increased $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, which is primarily attributable to a $8.4 million increase in comparable cemetery gross profit and a $7.0 million increase in gross profit contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties. Comparable cemetery gross profit increased from $430.2 million to $438.6 million, while the gross profit percentage decreased slightly from 32.8% to 32.6%. Although we experienced revenue growth, we continue to see increases in our fixed costs, primarily due to higher maintenance and the timing of incentive compensation costs compared to the prior year.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $124.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $112.3 million for the same period in 2023. The current year and prior year were inversely impacted by long-term incentive compensation plan expenses that are tied to the changes in our stock price.
Gains on Divestitures and Impairment Charges, Net
We recognized a $4.8 million net pre-tax gain on asset divestitures and impairments in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a $10.2 million net pre-tax gain in 2023 on asset divestitures due to non-strategic asset divestitures.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $19.6 million to $194.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average balances on our floating rate debt.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased $4.4 million to $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher investment income from higher investment balances and new investment products compared to the prior year.

The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to more excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits recognized on the settlement of employee share-based awards.
Weighted Average Shares
The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 147.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 153.6 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of shares repurchased under our share repurchase program.
Critical Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, and Accounting Changes
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from the estimates on which our financial statements are prepared at any given point of time. Changes in these estimates could materially affect our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or cash flows. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue and expense accruals, fair value of merchandise and perpetual care trust assets, and the allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired. Our critical accounting policies have not significantly changed since December 31, 2023 and are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes
For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be accompanied by words such as “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “predict” that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These statements are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, many important factors could cause our actual consolidated results in the future to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein and in any other documents or oral presentations made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These factors are discussed below. We assume no obligation and make no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Our affiliated trust funds own investments in securities, which are affected by market conditions that are beyond our control.
We may be required to replenish our affiliated funeral and cemetery trust funds to meet minimum funding requirements, which would have a negative effect on our earnings and cash flow.
Our ability to execute our strategic plan depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.
We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.
Our results may be adversely affected by significant weather events, natural disasters, catastrophic events, or public health crises.
Our credit agreements contain covenants that may prevent us from engaging in certain transactions.
If we lost the ability to use surety bonding to support our preneed activities, we may be required to make material cash payments to fund certain trust funds.
The financial condition of third-party life insurance companies that fund our preneed contracts may impact our future revenue.
Unfavorable publicity could affect our reputation and business.
Our failure to attract and retain qualified sales personnel could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
FORM 10-Q 42



PART I
We use a combination of insurance, self-insurance, and large deductibles in managing our exposure to certain inherent risks; therefore, we could be exposed to unexpected costs that could negatively affect our financial performance.
Declines in overall economic conditions beyond our control could reduce future potential earnings and cash flows and could result in future impairments to goodwill and/or other intangible assets.
Any failure to maintain the security of the information relating to our customers, their loved ones, our associates, and our vendors could damage our reputation, could cause us to incur substantial additional costs and to become subject to litigation, and could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition, or cash flow.
Our Canadian business exposes us to operational, economic, and currency risks.
Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our cash flows, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, and may prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our indebtedness.
A failure of a key information technology system or process could disrupt and adversely affect our business.
The funeral and cemetery industry is competitive.
If the number of deaths in our markets declines, our cash flows and revenue may decrease. Changes in the number of deaths are not predictable from market to market or over the short term.
If we are not able to respond effectively to changing consumer preferences, our market share, revenue, and/or profitability could decrease.
The continuing upward trend in life expectancy and the number of cremations performed in North America could result in lower revenue, operating profit, and cash flows.
Our funeral and cemetery businesses are high fixed-cost businesses.
Risks associated with our supply chain could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Regulation and compliance could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
Unfavorable results of litigation could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.
Cemetery burial practice claims could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
The application of unclaimed property laws by certain states to our preneed funeral and cemetery backlog could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, cash flows, and financial results.
Changes in taxation, or the interpretation of tax laws or regulations, as well as the inherent difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties, see our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of this document as well as other SEC filings can be obtained from our website at www.sci-corp.com. We assume no obligation and make no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by us whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

PART I
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market” risk refers to the risk of gains or losses arising from changes in interest rates and prices of marketable securities. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future gains or losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible gains or losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk-sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading.
Marketable Equity and Debt Securities — Price Risk
In connection with our preneed operations and sales, the related trust funds own investments in equity and debt securities and mutual funds, which are sensitive to current market prices. Cost and market values as of September 30, 2024 are presented in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 3 of this Form 10-Q. Also, see Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for discussion of trust investments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2024 and that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with US GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
