What they said
SCI reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.14, an 8% increase from $1.06 in the prior year, with moderate revenue and gross profit increases in both funeral and cemetery segments. Full year adjusted EPS reached $3.85, up 9% from $3.53, driven by solid revenue growth and improved comparable margins. Funeral operations saw 3.2% growth in core average revenue per service despite 1.9% decline in core funeral services performed.
Guidance
Management expects continued impressive growth in non-funeral home average revenue per service and general agency commission rates to stabilize in the mid-30s percentage range moving forward.
