Service Corporation International (SCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking to push harder into the markets Service Corporation International (SCI) already serves, which means squeezing more revenue from every existing location and every existing customer relationship. That's the core of market penetration, and the numbers from the recent quarters give us a clear starting point.

First, aggressively increase preneed sales production. You saw cemetery preneed sales production jump by 9.6% in the third quarter of 2025. That momentum is key. The goal is to translate that cemetery success into the funeral side, especially since core preneed funeral sales production grew by $20 million in Q3 2025. We need to capitalize on that 9.6% growth rate and push it higher across all preneed offerings.

Next, you absolutely need to drive up the average revenue per funeral service. Your benchmark from the first quarter of 2025 was an average revenue per service of $5,743. To be fair, the third quarter showed some positive pricing power, with the comparable funeral sales average growing 3.1% year-over-year. But that growth needs to outpace inflation and definitely beat that Q1 2025 figure of $5,743 consistently. Here's the quick math: a 3.1% increase on $5,743 gets you to about $5,920, but we need to push past that through premium service attachment.

The scale of Service Corporation International is its biggest lever here. The company operates over 1,900 funeral homes and cemeteries across 44 states, eight Canadian provinces, D.C., and Puerto Rico. That footprint should translate directly into better supplier costs, which directly impacts the funeral gross profit margin. In Q3 2025, the funeral gross profit percentage was 17.5%, down 170 basis points from the prior year, which shows cost pressure is real. We need to see that margin expand back toward the Q1 2025 level of over 24% by using that scale to negotiate better terms on caskets, vaults, and other supplies.

Here is a snapshot of the recent performance metrics that drive this strategy:

Targeted digital marketing in existing metropolitan areas is how you capture share from smaller, independent operators who can't match the digital presence. You're using the existing infrastructure-the 1,900+ locations-as the fulfillment centers for digital leads. This is about increasing the volume of services performed, which was slightly down in Q3 2025 comparable funeral revenue, but offset by the higher average.

Finally, customer loyalty through the Dignity Memorial brand's service excellence guarantee is a non-financial metric that drives the financial outcome. When you deliver on that guarantee, you increase the likelihood of repeat business, referrals, and higher attachment rates for higher-margin merchandise and services. This helps sustain the average revenue per service, which is defintely critical for margin recovery.

Service Corporation International (SCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

Market Development for Service Corporation International (SCI) centers on taking existing, proven services into new geographic territories. This strategy relies on the company's strong financial footing, evidenced by the confirmed 2025 adjusted operating cash flow guidance range of $910 million to $950 million.

A key component of this market development is aggressive expansion via acquisition in currently unserved US territories. You're looking to capture market share where SCI currently holds zero presence. To gauge the potential scale, consider that in 2024, SCI invested $181 million to acquire 26 funeral homes and 6 cemeteries in major metropolitan markets. A similar strategic acquisition approach should target the remaining six US states where SCI does not currently operate. This move aims to increase SCI's overall US revenue market share, which currently sits between 17% to 18% across all deathcare revenue.

For the US expansion, the capital allocation for new market entry, similar to the 2024 acquisition spend, could be benchmarked against that $181 million figure, though the exact allocation from the $910 million to $950 million cash flow range is subject to deal flow. This effort is about establishing a beachhead in new geographies to build out the funeral segment, where SCI currently holds a 12% to 13% market share.

Beyond the US, Service Corporation International (SCI) must look north to Canada. The plan involves organic expansion in high-growth, under-penetrated Canadian provinces beyond the current eight locations. This organic push leverages existing operational expertise to build new service locations where the market penetration is currently lower than the cemetery segment's 27%, 28% share in the US. Organic expansion requires less immediate capital outlay than acquisition but demands focused operational deployment.

The investment in new combination locations-funeral home and cemetery-is a capital-intensive but synergistic move, directly utilizing dedicated cemetery development funds. For 2025, the company has set aside $160 million specifically for cemetery property development. This capital will fund the construction of these new sites, which can include everything from lawn crypt gardens to community mausoleums. This investment supports both funeral and cemetery segments simultaneously.

The table below summarizes the financial anchors for this Market Development strategy:

The strategic acquisitions in major metropolitan markets will mirror the scale seen in 2024. Targeting similar high-density areas is crucial for immediate revenue impact. The focus remains on deploying capital efficiently to secure market positions that can eventually yield returns in line with the company's long-term growth framework of 8%-12% EPS growth.

The Market Development actions can be broken down by focus area:

• Allocate a portion of the $910 million to $950 million cash flow to new US markets.
• Acquire independent funeral homes in the six US states not currently served.
• Expand organically in under-penetrated Canadian provinces beyond the current eight.
• Invest in new combination locations using the $160 million cemetery development capital.
• Target strategic acquisitions similar in scale to the $181 million spent in 2024.

This disciplined deployment of capital into new geographies is designed to grow the company's overall revenue market share, which is currently concentrated at 12% to 13% on the funeral side. It's about planting flags where the existing Service Corporation International (SCI) brand isn't yet established.

Service Corporation International (SCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Service Corporation International (SCI) can push new offerings into its existing market-the core of Product Development in the Ansoff Matrix. Given the national trend, this area is critical for maintaining relevance and capturing higher-value services.

Introduce premium, personalized memorialization services to address the 58%+ US cremation rate.

The national trend shows a clear shift; the U.S. cremation rate is projected to hit 63.4% in 2025, up from 61.8% in 2024, with projections reaching 82.3% by 2045. Service Corporation International (SCI) is already deep in this trend, reporting a core cremation rate of 57.3% as of Q3 2025. To capture the higher-margin segment of this market, you need services that go beyond basic cremation. Think about developing tiered, highly personalized memorial packages that integrate unique tributes or exclusive venue access, justifying a higher average revenue per service.

Develop high-tech digital memorial products, like virtual cemetery tours or interactive life tributes.

Digital engagement is no longer optional; it's expected. Nationally, 47% of U.S. funeral homes offer their own virtual funerals, showing consumer acceptance of high-tech memorialization. Service Corporation International (SCI) can expand its digital footprint by making these offerings standard, not just add-ons. This means investing in platforms that allow for truly interactive life tributes, perhaps integrating augmented reality features into existing memorial sites or offering subscription access to high-definition virtual cemetery tours for remote family members.

Offer specialized, full-service green burial and natural organic reduction options at existing cemeteries.

Sustainability is driving purchasing decisions for a significant portion of the market. According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) 2025 Consumer Awareness and Preferences Report, 61.4% of consumers express interest in exploring "green" funeral options. Service Corporation International (SCI) has already piloted this by adding 'human composting' services, also known as natural organic reduction, to five funeral homes in the Seattle, Washington, area back in May 2023. The next step is scaling this offering across existing cemetery properties where land use allows, ensuring you offer a full-service package that meets Green Burial Council criteria.

Expand the non-funeral home sales average, which grew 13.4% in Q3 2025, with new merchandise.

The direct-to-consumer channel is showing real strength. In Q3 2025, Service Corporation International (SCI) reported a 13.4% increase in the average revenue per service for non-funeral home sales. This growth in the average, despite a slight decline in non-funeral home services performed, signals that customers are buying higher-value items or services through this channel. You need to immediately expand the merchandise catalog available through SCI Direct or similar platforms to capitalize on this 13.4% momentum.

Create new preneed insurance products with a wider range of payment and service options.

The shift to insurance-funded preneed contracts is a strategic focus, especially after Service Corporation International (SCI) lapped the anniversary of the transition from trust to insurance-funded preneed in June 2025. While non-funeral home preneed sales production decreased by almost 20% in Q3 2025 due to this transition, core preneed funeral sales production actually increased by $6 million, or about 2%, over Q3 2024. This suggests the insurance product itself needs refinement. You should be rolling out new insurance products that offer more flexible payment schedules or allow for guaranteed inclusion of newer, high-tech memorial products, moving beyond the older contracts that are maturing out of the backlog.

Here's a quick look at the key data points driving these Product Development opportunities:

To support the expansion of digital and green offerings, consider the current state of adoption:

• Virtual Funeral Offering by U.S. Funeral Homes: 47%
• NFDA Member Firms Offering Online Cremation Arrangements: 36.3%
• SCI Market Share (Total Deathcare): 17% to 18% by revenue
• SCI Funeral Market Share: 12% to 13%

The focus on new insurance products is also tied to the commission structure change with Global Atlantic, which went into effect in July 2024 and was lapped in June 2025, potentially leading to higher margins on new contracts, moving from a general agency commission percentage close to 26% to 35% to 36%.

Service Corporation International (SCI) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Service Corporation International (SCI) can use its existing customer base and operational scale to move into entirely new areas. This is the diversification quadrant, which carries the highest risk but also the potential for the highest reward, so the numbers have to support the move.

Enter the adjacent elder care or senior living advisory market, leveraging the preneed customer base.

You already have the relationships; think about the advisory layer on top of the core service. The US elderly care market size is estimated to be a massive $14.90 billion in 2025, and the more targeted senior care advisory industry specifically is valued at $1.2 billion in 2025. Service Corporation International (SCI) operates 1,487 funeral service locations and 499 cemeteries as of September 30, 2025, giving you unparalleled physical proximity to families at their point of need. This existing scale is the key to entering this adjacent advisory space without building from scratch. The core business is still strong, too; for instance, comparable funeral sales average grew 3.1% in Q3 2025 over Q3 2024, supported by a 13.4% growth in non-funeral home sales average. That financial momentum helps fund these new ventures.

Acquire a minority stake in a US-based estate planning or digital will-writing service.

This move taps into the digital side of future planning, which is where many consumers are heading. The United States Online Will Writing Service Market size is projected at $0.41 Billion in 2025, while the broader global estate planning services market is valued at $318 million in 2025. Service Corporation International (SCI) already manages significant future commitments, evidenced by a preneed backlog of unfulfilled funeral and cemetery contracts totaling $16.0 billion at December 31, 2024. Acquiring a stake in a digital will service lets you integrate that digital planning process directly with your existing preneed sales funnel, which saw core funeral preneed sales production increase 9% in Q3 2025. Here's the quick math: if you capture even a small percentage of the $0.41 Billion US digital market, it's a meaningful new revenue stream.

Establish a presence in select high-growth international markets outside of North America.

Service Corporation International (SCI) currently has a significant North American footprint across 44 states, eight Canadian provinces, D.C., and Puerto Rico. To diversify geographically, you'd look where the demographic trends mirror the US aging curve but where competition might be less entrenched. For example, in the pet funeral services market, North America commanded 35.71% share in 2024, but the Asia-Pacific region is expected to register the highest regional expansion. This suggests where capital might flow for growth outside the established US/Canada base. The company's overall financial health supports this exploration, with 2025 cash flow guidance set in a range of $910 million to $950 million.

Launch a specialized pet memorial and cremation service brand, a distinct market from human deathcare.

This is a true diversification into a completely different vertical, capitalizing on the humanization of pets. The global Pet Funeral Services Market size is expected to reach $1.83 billion in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% through 2029. The pet cremation segment is particularly strong; the global Pet Cremation and Burial Service Market size was $2.157 billion in 2025. You can leverage your existing cremation infrastructure and operational expertise here. What this estimate hides is the fragmentation; North America held 35.71% of the pet funeral market share in 2024, meaning there are many smaller players to acquire or compete against.

Develop a proprietary, high-margin grief counseling and wellness subscription service for families.

This leverages the emotional support aspect of your existing service into a recurring revenue model. The Grief Counselling market size reached $3.67 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $5.32 billion by 2029, showing a clear demand for mental wellness support post-loss. A subscription model could offer high margins, especially if delivered digitally, which aligns with the trend of teletherapy integration in the market. The core business is already delivering strong profitability metrics that can fund this development; for example, the operating income margin improved to 23.4% in Q1 2025 from 22.2% in Q1 2024. You'd be building a high-margin digital offering on top of a high-margin physical service.

• Access to licensed grief therapists via video link.
• On-demand digital modules covering bereavement stages.
• Monthly support group sessions for pre-registered families.
• Integration with preneed purchase for automatic enrollment.
• Annual wellness check-ins for surviving family members.

The company's focus remains on its long-term growth strategy, aiming for adjusted earnings per share growth within the 8% to 12% long-term framework for 2025. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.
