Earnings from continuing operations excluding special items, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items, and net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation to net income, diluted earnings per share, and net cash provided by operating activities computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) can be found later in this press release under the headings "Cash Flow and Capital Spending" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

 

Quarterly Highlights:

  • Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items grew 21.7% to $0.28 in the second quarter of 2015 over the same period in 2014 primarily driven by strong performance from our cemetery segment, which more than offset the loss of earnings from properties that have been subsequently divested in connection with the Stewart acquisition.
  • Consolidated funeral gross profit declined $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. However, comparable funeral gross profits grew $1.6 million which helped offset the loss of $7.7 million in gross profits contributed in the prior year quarter by properties that have been subsequently divested.
  • Consolidated cemetery gross profit increased $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2015 over the prior year quarter and the gross margin percentage increased 470 basis points to 26.5%. Higher gross profits driven by a double-digit percentage increase in preneed cemetery property sales more than offset the loss of $2.5 million in gross profits contributed in the prior year quarter by properties that have been subsequently divested.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items increased 3.6% to $101.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $98.4 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to higher cash receipts associated with an increase in cemetery preneed sales production.
  • During the second quarter, we returned $98.6 million to our shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends.

Tom Ryan, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the second quarter of 2015:
"We are very proud of the operating performance during the second quarter, which resulted in a 22% improvement in normalized earnings per share. This represents our fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth in normalized earnings per share. Robust preneed cemetery sales production continues to be the primary factor driving our earnings ahead of our expectations. Through six months, normalized earnings per share has increased 16% and adjusted operating cash flows has also increased 14%. Coming off of this performance, we have revised upwards the midpoint of our annual earnings and cash flow guidance and we expect to continue to deploy capital strategically to increase shareholder value in the back half of 2015."

(1)

Atneed revenue represents merchandise and services sold once death has occurred.

(2)

Matured preneed revenue represents merchandise and services primarily sold on a preneed contract but delivered and/or performed once death has occurred.

(3)

Core revenue represents merchandise and services recognized once death has occurred.

(4)

Recognized preneed revenue represents merchandise and travel protection sold on a preneed contract and delivered before death has occurred

(5)

Other revenue consists primarily of General Agency revenue, which are commissions we receive from third-party insurance companies for life insurance policies sold to preneed customers for the purpose of funding preneed arrangements.

 

  • Comparable funeral revenue increased by $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2014 mainly driven by an increase in recognized preneed revenue and higher General Agency revenue.
  • Comparable average revenue per service decreased by 0.2%. Excluding an unfavorable Canadian currency impact, the average revenue per service grew 0.8%. Our comparable cremation rate increased to 51.3% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 50.7% in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Comparable gross profit increased $1.6 million, or 1.8%, compared to the prior year quarter while the gross margin percentage remained relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter. The improvement was led by the revenue increases described above.
  • Preneed funeral sales production, excluding terminally imminent contracts in both periods, increased $6.4 million for the quarter or 3.4%. A terminally imminent contract is used when a family chooses to make arrangements several weeks or a few months in advance of need. In mid-2014, we began to record more of these sales directly into atneed sales instead of recording them as preneed sales that quickly convert into atneed business.

Comparable Cemetery Results

The table below details comparable cemetery results of operations ("same store") for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. We consider comparable operations to be those owned for the entire period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015.

Atneed revenue represents property, merchandise, and services sold once death has occurred.

Recognized preneed revenue represents property sold on a preneed contract and merchandise and services sold on a preneed contract that have been delivered or performed.

(3)

Core revenue represents property, merchandise, and services that have been delivered or performed.

(4)

Other revenue is primarily related to merchandise and service trust fund income, endowment care trust fund income, royalty income, and interest and finance charges earned from customer receivables on preneed installment contracts.

(5)

Represents the ratio of current period core revenue recognition stated as a percentage of current period sales production.

 

  • Comparable cemetery revenue grew $26.3 million, or 10.3%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2014 primarily from an increase in preneed cemetery property sales production and higher trust fund income.
  • Preneed cemetery sales production increased $31.6 million, or 16.9%, in the current quarter compared to same period last year. This increase was driven by strong growth in the number of preneed property contracts sold as well as a healthy increase in the average sale, which was partially offset by an unfavorable Canadian currency impact.
  • Comparable cemetery gross profit increased $18.4 million and the adjusted gross margin percentage increased 450 basis points to 26.6% in the current quarter. The gross profit improvement was driven by the increases in cemetery property sales stated above as well as a $5.0 million increase in trust fund income. This increase was partially offset by higher selling costs associated with the higher preneed sales production.

Other Financial Results

  • General and administrative expenses decreased $12.7 million to $33.6 million. The prior year included $14.1 million of costs related to the integration of Stewart and $3.9 million of system integration and other costs. Excluding these one-time costs, general and administrative expenses increased $5.3 million over the prior year, which is primarily due to the permanent costs associated with the increased scale of the combined SCI and Stewart entity.

Cash Flow and Capital Spending

Set forth below is a reconciliation of our reported net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP to net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items (or sometimes referred to as adjusted operating cash flow). We do not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  • Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items increased $3.5 million to $101.9 million for the second quarter compared to $98.4 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to higher cash receipts associated with the increase in cemetery comparable preneed sales production, an increase in net trust fund withdrawals, and a $9.1 million decrease in cash interest paid. These increases were partially offset by an increase in payroll funding as a result of the timing of the Independence Day holiday and anticipated higher cash tax payments.

OUTLOOK FOR 2015

Our updated outlook for potential earnings and cash flow in 2015 is as follows:

 

(In millions except per share amounts)


Previous 2015
Outlook


Updated 2015
Annual Guidance

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items (1)


$1.16 to $1.28


$1.22 to $1.28

Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items (1)


$450 to $500


$475 to $500

Capital improvements at existing facilities and cemetery development expenditures


$130 to $140


$130 to $140



(1)

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items and net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items are non-GAAP financial measures. We historically reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to diluted earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities, however, diluted earnings per share and net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP are not currently accessible on a forward-looking basis. Our guidance for 2015 excludes the following because this information is not currently available for 2015: Gains or losses associated with asset divestitures, gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, potential tax reserve adjustments, acquisition and transition costs, and potential costs associated with settlements of litigation or the recognition of receivables for insurance recoveries associated with litigation. The foregoing items could materially impact our forward-looking diluted EPS and net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the historical disclosures found in this press release under the headings "Cash Flow and Capital Spending" and "Non-GAAP financial measures".

 

This outlook reflects management's current views and estimates regarding future economic and financial market conditions, company performance and financial results, business prospects, the competitive environment, and other events. This outlook is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of SCI, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the potential results highlighted above. A further list and description of these risks and uncertainties and other matters can be found later in this press release under "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements".

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Earnings from continuing operations excluding special items and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items (or sometimes referred to as normalized earnings per share) shown above are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and better reflect the performance of our core operations, as they are not influenced by certain income or expense items not affecting continuing operations. We also believe these measures help facilitate comparisons to our competitors' operating results.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of our reported net income attributable to common stockholders to earnings from continuing operations excluding special items and our GAAP diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items. We do not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release 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," or "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 results in the future to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein and in any other documents or oral presentations made by us, or on our behalf. Important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

  • Our affiliated funeral and cemetery trust funds own investments in equity securities, fixed income securities, and mutual funds, which are affected by market conditions that are beyond our control.
  • We may be required to replenish our affiliated funeral and cemetery trust funds in order 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.
  • 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 funeral and preneed cemetery activities, we may be required to make material cash payments to fund certain trust funds.
  • The funeral home and cemetery industry is competitive.
  • Increasing death benefits related to preneed funeral contracts funded through life insurance or annuity contracts may not cover future increases in the cost of providing a price-guaranteed funeral service.
  • The financial condition of third-party insurance companies that fund our preneed funeral contracts may impact our future revenues.
  • Unfavorable results of litigation could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.
  • Unfavorable publicity could affect our reputation and business.
  • If the number of deaths in our markets declines, our cash flows and revenues may decrease.
  • If we are not able to respond effectively to changing consumer preferences, our market share, revenues, and profitability could decrease.
  • The continuing upward trend in the number of cremations performed in North America could result in lower revenues and gross profit.
  • Our funeral home and cemetery businesses are high fixed-cost businesses.
  • Regulation and compliance could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
  • Cemetery burial practice claims could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
  • A number of years may elapse before particular tax matters, for which we have established accruals, are audited and finally resolved.
  • 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.
  • Our Canadian business exposes us to operational, economic, and currency risks.
  • Our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our indebtedness.
  • Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our results of operations, investor confidence, and our stock price.

For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties, see our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our 2014 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 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.
