Q3 FY26 earnings call · Oct 29, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Third-quarter adjusted EPS increased 11% to $0.97, revenue grew 5%, adjusted operating cash flow increased 11% to $296.9 million, and comparable pre-need funeral and cemetery sales production grew 6% and 5%, respectively. SCI reduced full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.94-$4.04 on weaker funeral volumes and elevated costs, while raising full-year cemetery pre-need sales-production expectations to 6%-7%, benefiting from stronger trust-fund income and expecting its $18 billion backlog to support future earnings and margins.

Bullish
  • + Third-quarter adjusted EPS increased 11% to $0.97 and consolidated revenue grew 5%. new
  • + Comparable pre-need funeral and cemetery sales production increased 6% and 5%, respectively. new
  • + Full-year cemetery pre-need sales-production guidance was raised to 6%-7% from 4%-5%, representing an estimated $0.08-$0.10 per-share earnings benefit. new
  • + For 2027, SCI expects continued pre-need sales-production strength and comparable funeral volumes to be flat to slightly higher. new
Bearish
  • − A lower cemetery revenue-recognition rate created an unfavorable timing mismatch between immediate selling-cost recognition and deferred revenue. new
  • − A lower general agency commission rate reduced non-funeral home preneed sales revenue and partially offset higher insurance sales production. new
  • − The full-year guidance reduction reflected unfavorable expense trends and funeral volumes below expectations. new
