Security National Financial reports Q1 EPS 18c vs. 31c last year
Reports Q1 revenue $82.7M vs. $81.2M last year. Book value per common share was $14.68 as of March 31, 2025, compared to $14.45 as of December 31, 2024. Scott Quist, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of SNFC, said, "A decrease in quarterly income is never our goal and falls below our self-set standards. Despite the decrease in net income, I believe that as a Company we performed operationally pretty well. Our Insurance Segment had its second best Q1 out of the last 5 years and our Death Care Segment had its 3rd best Q1 out of the last 5 years, which time period, it is important to note, includes the pandemic. Speaking now of our decrease in net income, of the approximate $4.05MM decrease in pretax quarterly income, about 75%, or roughly $3MM, is attributable to decreases in both our realized and unrealized investment income. Our investment income can be, and is, "lumpy" between quarters and years, primarily due to its close relationship to real estate activities and secondarily to public equity markets."
