Highlights:
Tom Ryan, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the third quarter of 2011:
"We are very pleased with our operating performance for the third quarter, which was enhanced by impressive increases in both funeral and cemetery preneed sales production. Once again, our sales team delivered excellent results during a very pessimistic economic and consumer sentiment environment. Our strong cash flows and healthy financial position have afforded us the flexibility to pursue an acquisition growth strategy while being opportunistic during recent stock market volatility to return value to our shareholders."

OUTLOOK FOR REMAINDER OF 2011 AND 2012
Our outlook for potential earnings and cash flow in the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 as well as our initial outlook for fiscal 2012 is as follows:
(In millions, except per share amounts) | 4th Qtr 2011 Outlook | Updated 2011 Outlook | 2012 Outlook | ||||
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items(1) | $.16 to $.19 | $.62 to $.65 | $.66 to $.74 | ||||
Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items(1) | $75 to $95 | $370 to $390 | $375 to $425 | ||||
Capital improvements at existing facilities and cemetery development expenditures | Approx. $25 | Approx. $105 | $95 to $105 | ||||
(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 normally 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 outlook for 2011 and 2012 excludes the following because this information is not currently available for the remainder of 2011 and for 2012: Gains or losses associated with asset divestitures, gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, potential tax reserve adjustments and/or cash taxes, 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, especially gains or losses associated with asset divestitures and tax reserve adjustments, could materially impact our forward-looking diluted EPS and/or net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the historical disclosures found in this press release under the heading "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 shown above are all 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 earnings from continuing operations excluding special items to our reported net income attributable to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items to our GAAP diluted earnings per share. 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.
