Service Corporation International Announces First Quarter 2017 Financial Results And Comments On Outlook For 2017

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements can be found at the end of this press release. The table below summarizes our key financial results:

(1) | 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. These items are also referred to as "adjusted earnings per share" and "adjusted operating cash flow". A reconciliation from net income attributable to common stockholders, 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:
Tom Ryan, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the first quarter of 2017:
"We are extremely proud of the operating performance of our businesses during the first quarter which delivered an impressive 36% improvement in adjusted earnings per share. Strong preneed cemetery sales production and an increase in funeral services performed were the primary factors that drove the earnings improvement for the quarter. We will focus on maintaining our current momentum to deliver solid operating results and substantial cash flows for the remainder of 2017. Based on our impressive first quarter operational performance and lower tax rate, we now believe we will achieve adjusted earnings per share growth in the upper end of our 2017 guidance range of $1.29 to $1.43 per share. Our results could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and I thank all 23,000 associates for their efforts and continued focus on delivering extraordinary service to our client families. We believe our long-term growth strategy is on track as we continue to grow revenue, leverage our unparalleled scale, and deploy our capital wisely to enhance shareholder value."
OUTLOOK FOR 2017
The ranges detailed below are consistent with our previously reported outlook for 2017 and are in line with our adjusted EPS long-term growth framework of 8-12% after considering special items in 2016. We now believe that our performance in 2017 will result in adjusted EPS at the upper end of this full year 2017 range. Our outlook for adjusted operating cash flow remains consistent and reflects an anticipated $40 - $45 million increase in cash taxes, as we expect our cash tax rate to approximate our effective tax rate adjusted for the IRS settlement.
(In millions, except per share amounts) |
| 2017 Outlook |
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items (Adjusted EPS)(1) |
| $1.29 to $1.43 |
Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items (Adjusted operating cash flow)(1) |
| $465 to $505 |
Capital improvements at existing facilities and cemetery development expenditures |
| Approximately $180 |
|
|
(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 from 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 2017 excludes the following because this information is not currently available for 2017: Gains or losses associated with asset divestitures, gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, potential tax reserve adjustments and IRS settlement payments, acquisition and integration costs, system implementation 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 potential tax reserve adjustments, could materially impact our forward-looking diluted EPS and/or our 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". |

Other Financial Results
Footnotes | |
(A) | We reached an agreement in principle with the Internal Revenue Service to resolve the issues under audit with respect to tax years 1999 through 2005. On March 2, 2017, we received from the IRS Office of Appeals the fully executed Form 870-AD, which, subject to finalization of computations, effectively settles the issues under audit for those years. As a result of this resolution, we recognized a reduction in our uncertain tax reserves of $143.0 million of which $102.5 million was recognized as an income tax benefit during the quarter for the matters that were effectively settled with an increase in our taxes payable of $40.5 million. |
(B) | In the first quarter of 2017, as required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which recognizes the tax effect related to the settlement of share-based awards in income tax benefit or expense in the statements of earnings rather than in additional paid-in-capital. This ASU guidance also eliminates the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities within the statement of cash flows. The impact of the restricted stock deliveries and option exercises in the first quarter of 2017 was a reduction to our adjusted provision for income taxes of $6.4 million, which had the effect of increasing our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items by $0.03 per share. |
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.

| $ | 7.1 |
|
Net cash provided by operating activities excluding special items was $188.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $190.0 million in the prior year quarter. The cash flow generated from increased earnings growth in the quarter was primarily offset by expected increases in cash taxes of $11.9 million and cash interest of $4.0 million.
A summary of our capital expenditures is set forth below:

|
Total capital expenditures decreased slightly in the current quarter by $1.5 million as a result of the timing of capital deployed throughout the year.
TRUST FUND RETURNS
Total trust fund returns include realized and unrealized gains and losses, interest, and dividends. A summary of our consolidated trust fund returns for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is set forth below:
|
| Three Months |

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 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.
