SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Security National Financial Corporation (SNFC) (NASDAQ symbol "SNFCA") announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, SNFC’s after tax earnings increase nearly 272% from a loss of $2,353,000 in 2022 to a gain of $4,041,000 in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, after tax earnings increased 161% to $11,634,000 from $4,450,000 in 2022.

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

“I am quite pleased with our Company’s financial performance in the third quarter and year to date. To have triple digit increases over both 2022 third quarter and YTD net income is an excellent performance, especially when considered in light of our tough first quarter. Our Mortgage Segment continues to navigate a challenging environment with YTD revenues being down 41% from 2022, which is in addition to the 38% decline we experienced in 2022 vs. 2021. However, we continue to believe that we have maintained, if not gained, market share. Growth is expensive in this environment but is nevertheless our goal. Suffice it to say that while market share is difficult to measure, we are sure we have more producing loan officers this year than we did last year at this time. Our Memorial Segment, as death counts have stabilized, has been focused on improving operating performance and is now 38% ahead of 2022. Our Insurance Segment is having its best Q3 YTD operational results ever on a 9% increase in premium revenue while maintaining stable costs against the current inflationary environment. I can say that all of our segments have worked diligently to rationalize their costs of operations and have done so with considerable success. Overall investment returns have improved in this higher interest rate environment, which improvement has been another significant factor leading to our improvement in profitability. I believe Q3 again demonstrates the financially balanced nature of our Company and, of course, the excellent quality of our teams, which enable us to thrive in a variety of economic climates.”
