  • Mortgages: Revenue up 12.3%, earnings before taxes up 103.5%

The mortgage segment's turnaround is particularly noteworthy, given the industry-wide challenges. Overall, SNFC's balanced portfolio and operational improvements have led to a strong performance in a difficult economic climate.

SNFC's results reflect broader market trends and adaptability. The life insurance and memorial segments faced headwinds, likely due to changing consumer behavior and economic pressures. However, the mortgage segment's recovery is significant, bucking industry trends.

The 95% increase in pretax income demonstrates SNFC's resilience. The company's strategy of diversification across life insurance, memorials and mortgages provides stability in varying economic conditions. The improved premium rates in the insurance segment, though not immediately reflected in financials, indicate proactive management and potential future growth.

Investors should note the book value per share decrease from $14.11 to $13.91, which may warrant monitoring. Overall, SNFC's performance suggests strong positioning in a challenging market environment.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Security National Financial Corporation (SNFC) (NASDAQ symbol "SNFCA") announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, SNFC’s after tax earnings increase nearly 15% from $6,353,000 in 2023 to $7,272,000 in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, after tax earnings increased 94% to $14,746,000 from $7,593,000 in 2023.

Scott M. Quist, President of the Company, said:

“I am quite pleased with our Company’s financial performance in the first half of 2024. To have a 95% increase in pretax income over 2023 is an excellent performance. In my view our operational income was even better. Because we have substantial real estate investments, sometimes the associated investment income can be a little “lumpy”, just given its nature. This lumpiness occurred, especially in our Life Insurance and Memorial segments, comparing 2024 to 2023. From an operational perspective our Memorial Team achieved an admirable 20% plus improvement in the first half of the year in both mortuary and cemetery operations. Our Insurance Team continued to hold costs steady in the inflationary environment and improved our premium rates significantly. The improved premium rates will not show up in the financial statement for a while since they apply only to new business, but they nevertheless represent significant effort and achievement in understanding and adapting to our changing markets. Our Mortgage Segment, through extraordinary continuous effort, achieved the first quarter of profitability in the last nine quarters. As an instructional backdrop, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports an unprecedented 8 consecutive quarters of industry-wide negative production profit. Previously the MBA had never reported 2 consecutive quarters of negative production profit and only 3 total quarters going back to Q3 2008. To say that the mortgage market has been challenged over the last two years is an understatement. Our Mortgage Team continues to tackle costs which are still arguably high, but coming down, and have attracted new top-notch talent in both production and back-office roles. To have achieved a $4,000,000 improvement in income on essentially the same loan volume is noteworthy. I believe 2024 again demonstrates the financially balanced nature of our Company and the excellent and continuously improving quality of our teams, which enable us to thrive in a variety of economic climates.”
