Glossary
The following terms are common to the deathcare industry, are used throughout this report, and have the following meanings:
Atneed — Funeral, including cremation, and cemetery arrangements sold once death has occurred.
Average Revenue per Service — Average revenue per funeral service performed, excluding the impact of funeral recognized preneed revenue, GA revenue, and certain other revenue.
Cancellation — Termination of a preneed contract, which relieves us of the obligation to provide the goods and services included in the contract. Cancellations may be requested by the customer or be initiated by us for failure to comply with the contractual terms of payment. State or provincial laws govern the amount of refund, if any, owed to the customer.
Care Trusts' Corpus — The deposits and net realized capital gains and losses included in the perpetual care trusts that cannot be withdrawn. In certain states, some or all of the net realized capital gains can be distributed, so they are not included in the corpus.
Cemetery Merchandise and Services — Stone and bronze memorials, markers, outer burial containers, floral placement, graveside services, merchandise installations, urns, and interments.
Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust or Endowment Care Fund (ECF) — A trust fund established for the purpose of maintaining cemetery grounds and property into perpetuity. For these trusts, the corpus remains in the trust in perpetuity and the investment earnings or elected distributions are withdrawn regularly and are intended to defray our expenses incurred to maintain the cemetery. In certain states, some or all of the net realized capital gains can also be distributed. Additionally, some states allow a total return distribution that may contain elements of income, capital appreciation, and principal.
Cemetery Property — Developed lots, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces, niches, and cremation memorialization property items (constructed and ready to accept interments) and undeveloped land we intend to develop for the sale of interment rights. Includes the construction-in-progress balance during the pre-construction and construction phases of projects creating new developed property items.
Cemetery Property Amortization or Amortization of Cemetery Property — The non-cash recognized expenses of cemetery property interment rights, which are recorded by specific identification with the cemetery property revenue for each contract.
Cemetery Property Interment Rights — The exclusive right to determine the human remains that will be interred in a specific cemetery property space. See also Cemetery Property Revenue below.
Cemetery Property Revenue — Recognized sales of interment rights in cemetery property when the receivable is deemed collectible and the property is fully constructed and available for interment.
Combination Location (Combos) — Locations where a funeral service location is physically located within or adjoining an SCI-owned cemetery location.
Cremation — The reduction of human remains to bone fragments by intense heat.
Cremation Memorialization — Products specifically designed to commemorate and honor the life of an individual that has been cremated. These products include cemetery property items that provide for the disposition of cremated remains within our cemeteries such as benches, boulders, statues, glass front niches, etc. They also include memorial walls and books where the name of the individual is inscribed but the remains have been scattered or kept by the family.
Funeral Merchandise and Services — Merchandise such as burial caskets and related accessories, outer burial containers, urns and other cremation receptacles, casket and cremation memorialization products, flowers, and professional services relating to funerals including arranging and directing services, use of funeral facilities and motor vehicles, removal, preparation, embalming, cremations, memorialization, visitations, travel protection, and catering.
Funeral Recognized Preneed Revenue — Funeral merchandise and travel protection, net, sold on a preneed contract and delivered before a death has occurred.
Funeral Services Performed — The number of funeral services, including cremations, provided after the date of death, sometimes referred to as funeral volume.
General Agency (GA) Revenue — Commissions we receive from third-party life insurance companies for life insurance policies sold to preneed customers for the purpose of funding preneed funeral arrangements. The commission rate paid is determined based on the product type sold, the length of payment terms, and the health and age of the insured/annuitant.
Interment — The burial or final placement of human remains in the ground (interment), in mausoleums (entombment), in niches (inurnment), or in cremation memorialization property (inurnment).
Lawn Crypt — Cemetery property in which an underground outer burial receptacle constructed of concrete and reinforced steel has been pre-installed in predetermined designated areas.
FORM 10-Q 3

Marker — A method of identifying a deceased person in a particular burial space, crypt, niche, or cremation memorialization property. Permanent burial and cremation memorialization markers are usually made of bronze or stone.
Maturity — When the underlying contracted merchandise is delivered or service is performed, typically at death. This is the point at which preneed funeral contracts are converted to atneed contracts (note — delivery of certain merchandise and services can occur prior to death).
Mausoleum — An above ground structure that is designed to house caskets and/or cremation urns.
Merchandise and Service Trust — A trust account established in accordance with state or provincial law into which we deposit the required percentage of customers’ payments for preneed funeral, cremation, or cemetery merchandise and services to be delivered or performed by us in the future. The amounts deposited can be withdrawn only after we have completed our obligations under the preneed contract or upon the cancellation of the contract. Also referred to as a preneed trust.
Outer Burial Container — A reinforced container intended to inhibit the subsidence of the earth and house the casket after it is placed in the ground, also known as a burial vault.
Preneed — Purchase of cemetery property interment rights or any merchandise and services prior to death occurring.
Preneed Backlog or Backlog of Preneed Revenue — Future revenue from unfulfilled preneed funeral, cremation, and cemetery contractual arrangements.
Preneed Cemetery Sales Production — Sales of preneed cemetery contracts. These sales are recorded in Deferred revenue, net until the merchandise is delivered, the service is performed, or the property has been constructed and is available for interment.
Preneed Funeral Sales Production — Sales of preneed funeral trust-funded and insurance-funded contracts. Preneed funeral trust-funded contracts are recorded in Deferred revenue, net until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed. We do not reflect the unfulfilled insurance-funded preneed funeral contract amounts in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proceeds of the life insurance policies will be reflected in revenue as these funerals are performed by us in the future.
Preneed Receivables, Net — Amounts due from customers when we have delivered the merchandise, performed the service, or transferred control of the cemetery property interment rights prior to a death occurring and amounts due from customers on irrevocable preneed contracts.
Travel Protection — A product that provides shipment of remains to the servicing funeral home or cemetery of choice if the purchaser passes away outside of a certain radius of their residence, without any additional expense to the family.
Trust Fund Income — Recognized investment earnings from our merchandise and service and perpetual care trust investments.
As used herein, “SCI,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Service Corporation International and companies owned directly or indirectly by Service Corporation International, unless the context requires otherwise. Management has published a white paper on the corporate website for further understanding of accounting for preneed sales.

PART I
Service Corporation International
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Operations
Service Corporation International (SCI) is a holding company and all operations are conducted by its subsidiaries. We are North America’s largest provider of deathcare products and services, with a network of funeral service locations and cemeteries operating in the United States and Canada. Our funeral service and cemetery operations consist of funeral service locations, cemeteries, funeral service/cemetery combination locations, crematoria, and other related businesses, which enable us to serve a wide array of customer needs. We sell cemetery property and funeral and cemetery merchandise and services at the time of need and on a preneed basis. We strive to offer families exceptional service in planning life celebrations and personalized remembrances.
Funeral service locations provide all professional services relating to funerals and cremations, including the use of funeral facilities and motor vehicles, arranging and directing services, removal, preparation, embalming, cremations, memorialization, travel protection, and catering. Funeral merchandise, including burial caskets and related accessories, urns and other cremation receptacles, outer burial containers, flowers, online and video tributes, stationery products, casket and cremation memorialization products, and other ancillary merchandise, is sold at funeral service locations.
Our cemeteries provide cemetery property interment rights, including developed lots, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces, niches, and other cremation memorialization and interment options. Cemetery merchandise and services, including memorial markers and bases, outer burial containers, flowers and floral placement, other ancillary merchandise, graveside memorial services, merchandise installation, and interments, are sold at our cemeteries.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Service Corporation International and all subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the merchandise and service trusts and cemetery perpetual care trusts in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We have retained the specialized industry accounting principles when consolidating the trusts. Although we consolidate the trusts, it does not change the legal relationships among the trusts, us, or our customers. The customers are the legal beneficiaries of these trusts; therefore, their interests in these trusts represent a liability to us.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation with no effect on our consolidated net income or cash flows.
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and any other adjustments, which management considers necessary for a fair statement of our results for these periods. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, unless otherwise disclosed herein, and should be read in conjunction therewith. The accompanying year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year period.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

PART I
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Business Combinations
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended guidance to require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. Generally, this new guidance will result in the Company recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those reported by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. We have adopted the new guidance and will apply it to customer contracts acquired in business combinations, if any, after January 1, 2022. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.
Financial Instruments
In March 2022, the FASB amended guidance to require public companies to disclose the vintage year of receivable write-offs during the reporting period. This new disclosure is required for us beginning with our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and we will add the additional disclosures if write-offs during the period are material. The amended guidance has no impact on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
In June 2022, the FASB amended guidance to clarify that the fair value of investments in equity instruments with contractual sale restrictions should not be discounted as a result of the contractual restrictions. Additionally, the new guidance mandated disclosure of the fair value of any such securities, a description of the nature and duration of the restrictions, and circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with valuations that occur after January 1, 2024 and is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.

4. Income Taxes
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items, which are recorded in the period in which they occur. Discrete items include, among others, events such as changes in estimates due to the finalization of tax returns, tax audit settlements, expiration of statutes of limitation, and increases or decreases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate was 25.3% and 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 25.8% and 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to non-deductible losses in the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies due to negative returns in the financial markets, which increased tax expense for us in the quarter. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state and foreign tax expenses.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of June 30, 2022, the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits was $1.3 million and the total amount of our accrued interest was $0.8 million.
The federal statutes of limitation have expired for all tax years prior to 2018, and we are not currently under audit by the IRS. However, pursuant to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the statute of limitations on the transition tax for the 2017 tax year does not expire until 2024. Various state jurisdictions are auditing years 2013 through 2020. There are currently no federal or provincial audits in Canada; however, years subsequent to 2016 remain open and could be subject to examination. We believe that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $1.3 million within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various state tax matters.

6. Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Estimates
The fair value estimates of the following financial instruments have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate the fair values of those instruments due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying values of receivables on preneed funeral and cemetery contracts approximate fair value as the terms and conditions of these contracts are comparable to our current contract offerings.
FORM 10-Q 21

PART I
The fair value of our debt instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

| June 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
| (In thousands)
7.5% Senior Notes due April 2027 | $ | 146,882 |  |  | $ | 181,511 |
4.625% Senior Notes due December 2027 | 520,030 |  |  | 575,443 |
5.125% Senior Notes due June 2029 | 708,750 |  |  | 809,737 |
3.375% Senior Notes due August 2030 | 696,728 |  |  | 836,825 |
4.0% Senior Notes due May 2031 | 683,000 |  |  | 813,552 |
Term Loan due May 2024 | 552,500 |  |  | 568,750 |
Bank Credit Facility due May 2024 | 240,000 |  |  | 155,000 |
Mortgage notes and other debt, maturities through 2050 | 51,386 |  |  | 46,878 |
Total fair value of debt instruments | $ | 3,599,276 |  |  | $ | 3,987,696 |

The fair values of our long-term, fixed rate loans were estimated using market prices for those loans, and therefore they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value measurements hierarchy. The Term Loan, Bank Credit Facility, and the mortgage and other debt are classified within Level 3 of the fair value measurements hierarchy. The fair values of these instruments have been estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on our incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. An increase (decrease) in the inputs results in a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the instruments.
7. Equity
(All shares reported in whole numbers)
Share Repurchase Program
Subject to market conditions, normal trading restrictions, and limitations in our debt covenants, we may make purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions under our share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 5,648,791 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $360.1 million, which is an average cost per share of $63.75. During May 2022, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization to $600.0 million. After these repurchases and the increase in our share repurchase authorization, the remaining dollar value of shares authorized to be purchased under the share repurchase program was $534.1 million at June 30, 2022.
Subsequent to June 30, 2022, we repurchased 544,382 shares for $38.2 million at an average cost per share of $70.17. After these repurchases, the remaining dollar value of shares authorized to be purchased under the share repurchase program is $495.9 million.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance Loss Reserves
We purchase comprehensive general liability, morticians and cemetery professional liability, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation insurance coverage structured with high deductibles. The high-deductible insurance program means we are primarily self-insured for claims and associated costs and losses covered by these policies. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had self-insurance reserves of $94.1 million and $94.3 million, respectively.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
We are a party to various litigation and regulatory matters, investigations, and proceedings. Some of the more frequent routine litigations incidental to our business are based on burial practices claims and employment-related matters, including discrimination, harassment, and wage and hour laws and regulations. For each of our outstanding legal matters, we evaluate the merits of the case, our exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies, and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the matters described herein; however, if we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, or if we determine an amount for which we would be willing to settle the matter to avoid further costs and risk, we establish the necessary accruals. We hold certain insurance policies that may reduce cash outflows with respect to an adverse outcome of certain of these matters. We accrue such insurance recoveries when they become probable of being paid and can be reasonably estimated.
Wage and Hour Claims. We are named as a defendant in various lawsuits alleging violations of federal and state laws regulating wage and hour pay, including but not limited to the Fredeen lawsuit described below.
Lisa Fredeen, an aggrieved employee and on behalf of other aggrieved employees v. California Cemetery and Funeral Services, LLC, et al; Case No. BC706930; in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. This lawsuit was filed against SCI subsidiaries on May 18, 2018 and purports to be brought on behalf of the defendants' current and former non-exempt California employees during the four years preceding the filing of the complaint. This lawsuit asserts numerous claims for alleged wage and hour pay violations under the California Labor Code and the California Private Attorneys General Act. The plaintiff seeks unpaid wages, compensatory and punitive damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs, and interest. Given the nature of this lawsuit, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or ranges of loss, if any.
Operational Claims. We are named a defendant in various lawsuits alleging operational claims, including but not limited to the State of California and Taylor lawsuits described below.
The People of the State of California v. Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation, SCI Direct, Inc. a Florida Corporation, S.E. Acquisition of California, Inc., a California corporation dba Neptune Society of Northern California, Neptune Management Corp., a California corporation, Trident Society, Inc. a California corporation, and Does 1 through 100, inclusive, Case No. RG 19045103; in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Alameda. In July 2019, we received a letter from the Attorney General, State of California, Department of Justice (“CAAG") alleging that the allocation of prices among certain of our cremation service contracts and cremation merchandise contracts, and the related preneed trust funding, violates section 7735 of the California Business and Professions Code and that provisions of these same contracts constitute false advertising and deceptive sales practices in violation of California consumer protection laws. On November 21, 2019, we filed a complaint, S.E. Combined Services of California, Inc., a California Corporation dba Neptune Society of Northern California, Neptune Management Corp. a California Corporation, and Trident Society, Inc. v. Xavier Becerra, Attorney General of the State of California, and Does 1-50, Case No. 34-2019-00269617; in the Sacramento County Superior Court seeking declaratory relief holding, in general, that our practices, methods, and documentation utilized in the sale of preneed funeral goods and services are in all respects compliant with California law. On December 2, 2019, the CAAG filed the complaint, referenced above, seeking permanent injunction from making false statements and engaging in unfair competition, a placement of funds into preneed trusts, civil penalties, customer refunds, attorneys’ fees, and costs. We believe our contracts comply with applicable laws. Given the nature of this lawsuit, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Nancy Taylor, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated v. Service Corporation International and others, Case No. 20-cv-60709; in the United States District Court Southern District of Florida Fort Lauderdale Division. This case was filed in April 2020 as a Florida class action alleging that the allocation of prices among certain of our cremation service contracts and cremation merchandise contracts, and the related preneed trust funding, and the failure to disclose commissions paid and sales practices associated with the sale of third-party travel protection plans, violate the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and constitute unjust enrichment. Plaintiff seeks refunds, general, actual, compensatory and exemplary damages, civil penalties, interest, and attorney fees. The parties have reached a tentative settlement of the lawsuit that would include an immaterial payment of attorney fees and provide consumers enhanced cancellation rights under certain circumstances. The settlement is subject to court approval and notice to the class.
24 Service Corporation International

PART I
Unclaimed Property Audit
We received notices from auditors representing the unclaimed property departments of thirty-nine states regarding certain preneed funeral and cemetery contracts. The states claim that such contracts are subject to the states’ unclaimed property or escheatment laws and generally assert that all or a portion of the trusted preneed funds are escheatable if the beneficiary and/or purchaser is deceased or presumed deceased and no services or merchandise have been provided. We received notice that no additional property is due to be reported for the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia. We consider the unclaimed property audits resolved in those ten states. We have reserved all of our rights, claims, and defenses. Given the nature of this matter, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or ranges of loss, if any.
We intend to vigorously defend all of the above matters; however, an adverse decision in one or more of such matters could have a material effect on us, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
10. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in our earnings.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS is presented below:

Our financial position is enhanced by our $13.3 billion backlog of future revenue from both trust and insurance-funded preneed sales at June 30, 2022. Preneed selling provides us with a strategic opportunity to gain future market share. We also believe it adds to the stability and predictability of our revenue and cash flows. While revenue on the majority of preneed merchandise and service sales is deferred until the time of need, sales of preneed cemetery property provide opportunities for full current revenue recognition to the extent that the property is developed and available for use.
We have adequate liquidity and a favorable debt maturity profile, which allow us to reinvest and grow our business as well as return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Factors affecting our operating results include: demographic trends in terms of population growth and average age, which impact death rates and number of deaths; establishing and maintaining leading market share positions supported by strong local heritage and relationships; effectively responding to increasing cremation trends by selling complementary services and merchandise; controlling salary and merchandise costs; and exercising pricing leverage related to our atneed revenue. The average revenue per funeral contract is influenced by the mix of traditional and cremation services because our average revenue for cremations is lower than that for traditional burials. To further enhance revenue opportunities, we continue to focus on our cremation customers' preferences and remaining relevant by developing additional memorialization merchandise and services that specifically appeal to cremation customers. We believe the presentation of these additional merchandise and services through our customer-facing technology improves our customers' experience by reducing administrative burdens and allowing them to visualize the enhanced product and service offerings, which we believe will help drive increases in the average revenue for a cremation in future periods.
Recent Trends
Like most businesses world-wide, COVID-19 and recent inflationary and economic pressures are impacting various aspects of our business operations; however, we cannot, with certainty, predict the scope, severity, or duration with which COVID-19 and these pressures will continue to impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As these trends continue, we are actively monitoring the potential impact on our business operations from both a revenue and cost perspective.
In 2022, the families we serve are generally selecting to have funerals and celebrations of life either with the same service and merchandise levels we experienced before the COVID-19 pandemic or are choosing to celebrate with even more robust services. The increase we have seen in the number of families who desire more comprehensive memorial services has driven growth in our preneed sales as well as positively affected our average revenue per funeral service. We view this as evidence that our customers continue to value what our team does best, which is helping our client families gain closure and healing through the process of grieving, remembrance, and celebration.
For further discussion of our key operating metrics, see our "Cash Flow" and “Results of Operations” sections below.
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
Capital Allocation Considerations
We rely on cash flow from operations as a significant source of liquidity. Our cash flow from operating activities provided $472.9 million in the first six months of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had $726.3 million in remaining borrowing capacity under our Bank Credit Facility.
Our Bank Credit Facility requires us to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. Our leverage ratio has recently benefited from the strong earnings associated with
FORM 10-Q 27

PART I
the increase in funeral services performed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; however, as these impacts subside in future years, we expect leverage to return to our 3.5 to 4.0x target leverage range.
Our financial covenant requirements and actual ratios as of June 30, 2022 were as follows:

| Per Credit Agreement |  | Actual
Leverage ratio | 4.75 (Max) |  | 2.69 |
Interest coverage ratio | 3.00 (Min) |  | 9.54 |

We believe we have the financial strength and flexibility to reward shareholders through share repurchases and dividends while maintaining a prudent capital structure and pursuing new opportunities for profitable growth.
We believe that our unencumbered cash on hand, future operating cash flows, and the available capacity under our Bank Credit Facility will give us adequate liquidity to meet our short-term needs as well as our long-term financial obligations. Due to cash balances residing in Canada and minimum operating cash requirements, a portion of our cash on hand is encumbered.
We consistently evaluate the best uses of our cash flow that will yield the highest value and return on capital. Our capital allocation strategy is prioritized as follows:
Investing in Acquisitions and Building New Funeral Service and Cemetery Locations. We manage our footprint by focusing on strategic acquisitions and building new funeral service locations where the expected returns are attractive and exceed our weighted average cost of capital by a meaningful margin. We target businesses with favorable customer dynamics and/or where we can achieve additional economies of scale. We continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and build new funeral service locations in areas that provide us with the potential for scale.
Managing Debt. We may seek to make open market debt repurchases when it is opportunistic to do so relative to other capital allocation opportunities and to manage our near-term debt maturity profile. We have a relatively consistent annual cash flow stream that is generally resistant to down economic cycles. This cash flow stream and our significant liquidity are available to substantially reduce our long-term debt maturities should we choose to do so.
Return Excess Cash to Shareholders. Absent strategic acquisition or new opportunities, we intend to return excess cash to shareholders. Our quarterly dividend rate has steadily grown from $0.025 per common share in 2005 to $0.25 per common share in 2022. We target a payout ratio of 30% to 40% of after tax earnings excluding special items and intend to grow our cash dividend commensurate with the growth in our business. While we intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, all future dividends are subject to limitations in our debt covenants and final determination by our Board of Directors each quarter upon review of our financial performance.
Cash Flow
We believe our ability to generate strong operating cash flow is one of our fundamental financial strengths and provides us with substantial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $472.9 million and $489.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash flow from operations decreased $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus the same period in 2021. The 2022 decrease over 2021 comprises:
•a $59.0 million increase in vendor and other payments,
•a $57.0 million increase in employee compensation payments, and
•a $7.2 million increase in cash interest payments partially offset by
•a $90.2 million increase in cash receipts from customers,
•a $10.2 million increase in General Agency (GA) commission and other receipts,
•a $4.4 million decrease in cash tax payments, and
•a $1.5 million increase in net trust withdrawals.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities used $151.9 million and $108.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $43.3 million increased outflow from 2022 over 2021 is primarily due to the following:
•a $49.2 million increase in capital expenditures and

PART I
•a $5.3 million decrease in cash receipts from divestitures and asset sales, partially offset by
•a $6.6 million decrease in cash spent on real estate acquisitions,
•a $1.8 million decrease in payments for Company-owned life insurance policies, net of proceeds,
•a $1.6 million decrease in cash spent on business acquisitions, and
•a $1.2 million increase in proceeds from sale of investments.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used $388.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to using $176.5 million for the same period in 2021. The $211.5 million increased outflow from 2022 over 2021 is primarily due to the following:
•a $172.9 million increase in purchase of Company common stock,
• a $31.0 million decrease in debt proceeds, net of repayments, and
•a $8.7 million increase in payments of dividends.
Financial Assurances
In support of our operations, we have entered into arrangements with certain surety companies whereby such companies agree to issue surety bonds on our behalf as financial assurance and/or as required by existing state and local regulations. The surety bonds are used for various business purposes; however, the majority of the surety bonds issued and outstanding have been used to support our preneed sales activities. The obligations underlying these surety bonds are recorded on unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Deferred revenue, net. The breakdown of surety bonds between funeral and cemetery preneed arrangements, as well as surety bonds for other activities, is described below.

| June 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
| (In millions)
Preneed funeral | $ | 68.6 |  |  | $ | 89.2 |
Preneed cemetery: |  |  |
Merchandise and services | 135.9 |  |  | 147.0 |
Pre-construction | 26.7 |  |  | 24.8 |
Bonds supporting preneed funeral and cemetery obligations | 231.2 |  |  | 261.0 |
Bonds supporting preneed business permits | 8.4 |  |  | 7.0 |
Other bonds | 21.1 |  |  | 20.4 |
Total surety bonds outstanding | $ | 260.7 |  |  | $ | 288.4 |

When selling preneed contracts, we may post surety bonds where allowed by state law. We post the surety bonds in lieu of trusting a certain amount of funds received from the customer. The amount of the bond posted is generally determined by the total amount of the preneed contract that would otherwise be required to be trusted, in accordance with applicable state law.
Surety bond premiums are paid annually and the bonds are automatically renewable until maturity of the underlying preneed contracts, unless we are given prior notice of cancellation. We discontinued using surety bonds in lieu of trusting for new sales of preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise and services in 2020. As a result, we expect to see continued decreases in the outstanding surety bond amounts for these items. We continue to use surety bonds for pre-construction sales of cemetery property where permitted.
Except for cemetery pre-construction bonds (which are irrevocable), the surety companies generally have the right to cancel the surety bonds at any time with appropriate notice. In the event a surety company were to cancel the surety bond, we are required to obtain replacement surety assurance from another surety company or fund a trust for an amount generally less than the posted bond amount. Management does not expect that we will be required to fund material future amounts related to these surety bonds due to a lack of surety capacity or surety company non-performance.

Preneed Activities and Backlog of Contracts
In addition to selling our products and services to client families at the time of need, we enter into price-guaranteed preneed contracts, which provide for future funeral or cemetery merchandise and services. Because preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise or services will generally not be provided until sometime in the future, most states and provinces require that all or a portion of the funds collected from customers on preneed contracts be deposited into merchandise and service trusts until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed. In certain situations, as described above, where permitted by state or provincial laws, we may post a surety bond as financial assurance for a certain amount of the preneed contract in lieu of placing funds into trust accounts. Alternatively, we may sell a life insurance or annuity policy from third-party insurance companies.
Insurance-Funded Preneed Contracts
Where permitted by state or provincial law, we may sell a life insurance or annuity policy from third-party insurance companies, for which we earn a commission as general sales agent for the insurance company. These general agency revenues are based on a percentage per contract sold and are recognized as funeral revenue when the insurance purchase transaction between the preneed purchaser and third-party insurance provider is complete. All selling costs incurred pursuant to the sale of insurance-funded preneed contracts are expensed as incurred. We do not reflect the unfulfilled insurance-funded preneed contract amounts in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proceeds of the life insurance policies or annuity contracts will be reflected in funeral revenue as we perform these funerals.
The table below details our results of insurance-funded preneed production and maturities.

Trust-Funded Preneed Contracts
The funds collected from customers and required by state or provincial law are deposited into trusts. We retain any funds above the amounts required to be deposited into trust accounts and use them for working capital purposes, generally to offset the selling and administrative costs of our preneed programs. Although this represents cash flow to us, the associated revenues are deferred until the merchandise is delivered or services are performed (typically at maturity). The funds in trust are then invested by professional money managers with oversight by independent trustees in accordance with state and provincial laws.

Backlog of Preneed Contracts
The following table reflects our backlog of trust-funded deferred preneed contract revenue, including amounts related to Deferred receipts held in trust at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, the table reflects our backlog of unfulfilled insurance-funded contracts (which are not included in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The backlog amounts presented include amounts due from customers for undelivered performance obligations on cancelable preneed contracts to arrive at our total backlog of deferred revenue. The table does not include the backlog associated with businesses that are held for sale.
The table also reflects our preneed receivables and trust investments associated with the backlog of deferred preneed contract revenue, including the amounts due from customers for undelivered performance obligations on cancelable preneed contracts. We believe that the table below is meaningful because it sets forth the aggregate amount of future revenue we expect to recognize as a result of preneed sales, as well as the amount of funds associated with this revenue. Because the future revenue exceeds the assets, future revenue will exceed the cash distributions actually received from the associated trusts and future collections from the customer.

The fair value of our trust investments was based on a combination of quoted market prices, observable inputs such as interest rates or yield curves, and appraisals. As of June 30, 2022, the difference between the backlog and asset market amounts represents $0.19 billion related to contracts for which we have posted surety bonds as financial assurance in lieu of trusting, $1.23 billion collected from customers that were not required to be deposited into trusts, and $0.16 billion in allowable cash distributions from trust assets partially offset by $1.33 billion in amounts due on delivered property and merchandise. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the total backlog comprised $3.69 billion related to cemetery contracts and $9.65 billion related to funeral contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the assets associated with the backlog of trust-funded deferred revenue comprised $3.63 billion related to cemetery contracts and $2.31 billion related to funeral contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the backlog of insurance-funded contracts of $7.15 billion was equal to the proceeds we expect to receive from the associated insurance policies when the corresponding contract is serviced.
Trust Investments
In addition to selling our products and services to client families at the time of need, we enter into price-guaranteed preneed funeral and cemetery contracts, which provide for future funeral or cemetery merchandise and services. Since preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise or services will generally not be provided until sometime in the future, most states and provinces require that all or a portion of the funds collected from customers on preneed funeral and cemetery contracts be paid into trusts and/or escrow accounts until the merchandise is delivered or the service is performed. Investment earnings associated with the trust investments are expected to mitigate the inflationary costs of providing the preneed funeral and cemetery merchandise and services in the future at the prices that were guaranteed at the time of sale. Also, we are required by state and provincial law to pay a portion of the proceeds from the preneed or atneed sale of cemetery property interment rights into perpetual care trusts. For these investments, the original corpus generally remains in the trust in perpetuity and the earnings or elected distributions are withdrawn as allowed to defray the expense to maintain the cemetery property. While many states require that net capital gains or losses be retained and added to the corpus, certain states allow the net realized capital gains and losses to be included in the earnings that are distributed. Additionally, some states allow a total return distribution that may contain elements of income, capital appreciation, and principal.
Independent trustees manage and invest the majority of the funds deposited into the funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trusts as well as the cemetery perpetual care trusts. The majority of the trustees are selected based on their respective geographic footprint and qualifications per state and provincial regulations. Most of the trustees engage the same independent investment managers. These trustees, with input from SCI's wholly-owned registered investment advisor, establish an investment policy that serves as an operating document to guide the investment activities of the trusts including asset allocation and manager selection. The investments are also governed by state and provincial guidelines. All of the trusts
32 Service Corporation International

PART I
seek to control risk and volatility through a combination of asset classes, investment styles, and a diverse mix of investment managers.
Asset allocation is based on the liability structure of each funeral, cemetery, and perpetual care trust. Based on the various criteria set forth in the investment policy, the investment advisor recommends investment managers to the trustees. The primary investment objectives for the funeral and cemetery merchandise and service trusts include 1) preserving capital within acceptable levels of volatility and risk and 2) achieving growth of principal over time sufficient to preserve and increase the purchasing power of the assets. Preneed funeral and cemetery contracts generally take several years to mature; therefore, the funds associated with these contracts are often invested through several market cycles.
Where allowed by state and provincial regulations, the cemetery perpetual care trusts’ primary investment objectives are growth-oriented to provide for a fixed distribution rate from the trusts’ assets. Where such distributions are limited to ordinary income, the cemetery perpetual care trusts’ investment objectives emphasize providing a steady stream of current investment income with some capital appreciation. Both types of distributions are used to provide for the current and future maintenance and beautification of the cemetery properties.
As of June 30, 2022, approximately 94% of our trusts were under the control and custody of four large financial institutions. The U.S. trustees primarily use four managed limited liability companies (LLCs), one for each merchandise and service trust type and two for the cemetery perpetual care trust type, each with an independent trustee as custodian. Each financial institution acting as trustee manages its allocation of trust assets in accordance with the investment policy through the purchase of the appropriate LLCs' units. For those accounts not eligible for participation in the LLCs or where a particular state's regulations contain other investment restrictions, the trustee utilizes institutional mutual funds that comply with our investment policy or with such state restrictions. The U.S. trusts include a modest allocation to alternative investments. These alternative investments are held in vehicles structured as LLCs and are managed by certain trustees. The trusts that are eligible to allocate a portion of their investments to alternative investments purchase units of the respective alternative investment LLCs.
Investment Structures
Each financial institution, acting as trustee, manages its allocation of trust assets in compliance with the investment policy primarily through the purchase of one of four managed LLCs, matched to their trust type and each with a different, independent trustee acting as custodian. The managed LLCs use the following structures for investments:
Commingled Funds. These funds allow the trusts to access, at a reduced cost, some of the same investment managers and strategies used elsewhere in the portfolios.
Mutual Funds. The trust funds employ institutional share class mutual funds where operationally or economically efficient. These mutual funds are utilized to invest in various asset classes including U.S. equities, non-U.S. equities, corporate bonds, government bonds, high yield bonds, and commodities, all of which are governed by guidelines outlined in their individual prospectuses.
Separately Managed Accounts. To reduce the costs to the investment portfolios, the trusts utilize separately managed accounts where appropriate.
Asset Classes
Fixed income investments are intended to preserve principal, provide a source of current income, and reduce overall portfolio volatility. The majority of the fixed income allocation for the trusts is invested in institutional share class mutual funds. Where the trusts have direct investments in individual fixed income securities, these are primarily in government and corporate instruments.
Canadian government fixed income securities are investments in Canadian federal and provincial government instruments. In many cases, regulatory restrictions mandate that the funds from the sales of preneed funeral and cemetery contracts sold in certain Canadian jurisdictions must be invested in these instruments.
Equity investments have historically provided long-term capital appreciation in excess of inflation. The trusts have direct investments in individual equity securities primarily in domestic equity portfolios that include large, mid, and small capitalization companies of different investment styles (i.e., growth and value). The majority of the equity allocation is managed by institutional investment managers that specialize in an objective-specific area of expertise. Our equity securities are exposed to market risk; however, we believe these securities are well-diversified. As of June 30, 2022, the largest single equity position represented less than 1% of the total securities portfolio.
Alternative investments serve to provide high rates of return with reduced volatility and lower correlation to publicly-traded securities. These investments are typically longer term in duration and are diversified by strategy, sector, manager, geography and vintage year. The investments consist of numerous limited partnerships, invested in private equity, private market real estate, energy and natural resources, infrastructure, transportation, and private debt including both distressed debt and mezzanine financing. The trustees that have oversight of their respective alternative LLCs work closely with the investment advisor in making all investment decisions.

Trust Performance
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index decreased 20.0% and the Barclay’s Aggregate Index decreased 10.4%. This compares to SCI trusts that decreased 14.6% during the same period. SCI trusts have a diversified allocation of approximately 55% equities, 29% fixed income securities, 11% alternative and other investments with the remaining 5% available in cash.
Recognized trust fund income (realized and unrealized) related to our preneed trust investments was $81.5 million and $88.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Recognized trust fund income (realized and unrealized) related to our cemetery perpetual care trust investments was $45.3 million and $47.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in recognized trust fund income is primarily due to negative market returns experienced during the first half of 2022 as well as the timing of capital gains and other distributions.
SCI, the trustees, and the investment advisor monitor the capital markets and the trusts on an on-going basis. The trustees, with input from the investment advisor, take prudent action as needed to achieve the investment goals and objectives of the trusts.

In addition to the above items, the decrease over the prior year is primarily due to an expected decline in gross profit related to decreases in COVID-19 related activity and lower trust fund income, increased corporate and general administration expenses, and higher interest and taxes. These results were slightly offset by the benefit of fewer shares outstanding and an increase in contributions from recent acquisitions and new builds of funeral homes and cemeteries.

(1) We define comparable (or same store) operations as those funeral locations owned by us for the entire period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022.
(2) We calculate comparable average revenue per service by dividing comparable funeral revenue, excluding general agency revenue, recognized preneed revenue, and other revenue to avoid distorting our average of normal funeral services revenue, by the comparable number of funeral services performed during the period. Recognized preneed revenue is preneed sales of merchandise that are delivered at the time of sale, including memorial merchandise and travel protection, net, and excluded from our calculation of comparable average revenue per service because the associated service has not yet been performed.
Funeral Revenue
Consolidated revenue from funeral operations was $548.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $531.7 million for the same period in 2021. This $17.1 million increase is primarily attributable to the $8.7 million revenue growth contributed by acquired and newly constructed properties and a $9.7 million increase in comparable revenue as described below partially offset by the loss of $1.3 million in revenue contributed by properties that have been subsequently divested.
Comparable revenue from funeral operations was $539.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $530.0 million for the same period in 2021. This $9.7 million, or 1.8%, increase was primarily driven by growth in core funeral revenue and recognized preneed revenue of $3.4 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
Comparable average revenue per funeral service grew 1.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, that more than offset the 2.0% decrease in core funeral services performed over the same period. Our total comparable cremation rate increased 200 basis points to 61.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Funeral Gross Profit
Consolidated funeral gross profit increased $4.8 million, or 4.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to the growth in comparable funeral gross profit of $3.5 million, or 3.1%, as well as a $0.9 million higher gross profit from acquired and newly constructed properties. Comparable funeral gross profit grew $3.5 million to $116.5 million and the comparable gross profit percentage grew 30 basis points to 21.6%, primarily due to the higher revenue mentioned above. Additionally, the prior year quarter had higher fixed expenses associated with the timing of incentive compensation costs and pent up repairs and maintenance costs.

(1) We define comparable (or same store) operations as those cemetery locations owned by us for the entire period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022.
Cemetery Revenue
Consolidated revenue from our cemetery operations decreased $13.8 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a $18.2 million decrease in comparable cemetery revenue partially offset by $4.5 million in revenue growth contributed by acquired and newly constructed properties. The $18.2 million, or 4.0% decrease in comparable cemetery revenue was primarily attributable to a $11.7 million decrease in comparable cemetery core revenue. This comparable cemetery core revenue decline was primarily driven by a $11.2 million, or 3.1%, decrease in comparable preneed cemetery sales production as the prior year quarter benefited from strong growth during a heightened period of awareness from the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, a portion of the current quarter property sales were deferred and will benefit us in future quarters as the undeveloped property sold is constructed. Comparable cemetery other revenue also decreased $6.5 million, or 18.0%, primarily from a decrease in endowment care trust fund income as a result of capital gain distributions in the prior year quarter which did not recur in the current quarter.
Cemetery Gross Profit
Consolidated cemetery gross profit decreased $11.5 million, or 7.1%, in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in comparable cemetery gross profit of $14.1 million, or 8.7%, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in gross profit from acquired and newly constructed properties. Comparable cemetery gross profit decreased $14.1 million to $147.4 million, and the gross profit percentage decreased 170 basis points to 33.7%, primarily due to the decline in revenue mentioned.
Other Financial Statement Items
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $12.1 million to $45.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase is related to the timing of favorable adjustments to workers compensation and general liability and incentive compensation costs in the prior year quarter. Additionally, we incurred $3.0 million of increased expenses related to our long-term incentive compensation plan that is tied to increases in total shareholder return during the current quarter.
Gains on Divestitures and Impairment Charges, Net
We recognized a $0.3 million net pre-tax gain on asset divestitures and impairments in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a $6.2 million net pre-tax gain in the second quarter of 2021 on asset divestitures associated with non-strategic funeral and cemetery locations in the United States and Canada.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $3.1 million to $40.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to our May 2021 refinancing combined with higher interest on our floating rate debt.

PART I
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 25.3% and 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to non-deductible losses in the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies due to negative returns in the financial markets, which increased tax expense for us in the quarter.
Weighted Average Shares
The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 161.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 170.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of shares repurchased under our share repurchase program.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Management Summary
In th e first six months of 2022, we reported consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders of $352.2 million ($2.17 per diluted share) compared to net income attributable to common stockholders for the same period in 2021 of $386.6 million ($2.25 per diluted share). These results were impacted by certain items including:

In addition to the above items, the decrease over the prior year is primarily due to a decline in gross profit, increased corporate and general administration expenses, and higher interest and taxes, which was slightly offset by the benefit of fewer shares outstanding and non-organic contributions from recent acquisitions and new builds of funeral homes and cemeteries.

(1) We define comparable (or same store) operations as those funeral locations owned by us for the entire period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022.
(2) We calculate comparable average revenue per service by dividing comparable funeral revenue, excluding general agency revenue, recognized preneed revenue, and other revenue to avoid distorting our average of normal funeral services revenue, by the comparable number of funeral services performed during the period. Recognized preneed revenue is preneed sales of merchandise that are delivered at the time of sale, including memorial merchandise and travel protection, net, and excluded from our calculation of comparable average revenue per service because the associated service has not yet been performed.
Funeral Revenue
Consolidated revenue from funeral operations was $1,197.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,151.1 million for the same period in 2021. This $46.8 million increase is primarily attributable to the $21.7 million growth in revenue contributed by acquired and newly constructed properties and a $27.8 million increase in comparable revenue as described below partially offset by the loss of $2.7 million in revenue contributed by properties that have been subsequently divested.
Comparable revenue from funeral operations was $1,175.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1,147.5 million for the same period in 2021. This $27.8 million, or 2.4%, increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our comparable average revenue per service. Additionally, we experienced a $3.2 million increase in comparable general agency and other revenue and a $10.3 million increase in comparable recognized preneed revenue as the growth from both resulted from higher comparable preneed funeral sales production. Comparable services performed declined 2.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, which was heavily impacted by COVID-19 mortality.
Comparable average revenue per funeral service grew 3.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. This average revenue growth was primarily attributable to our customers desire for more comprehensive services including items such catering and flowers. Our total comparable cremation rate increased 170 basis points to 60.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Funeral Gross Profit
Consolidated funeral gross profit increased $6.4 million, or 2.1%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021. This growth is primarily attributable to a $3.7 million increase in gross profit contributed by acquired and newly constructed properties. Comparable funeral gross profit increased $1.5 million to $309.9 million while the comparable gross profit percentage decreased 50 basis points to 26.4%. Funeral margins were impacted by the increase in revenue described above along with higher cost in the current year relative to the prior year as staffing and service levels normalized driven by more comprehensive services compared to the prior year.

Cemetery Revenue
Consolidated revenue from our cemetery operations decreased $9.1 million, or 1.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a $17.3 million, or 1.9%, decrease in comparable cemetery revenue partially offset by a $8.4 million increase in revenue contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties. The $17.3 million decrease in comparable cemetery revenue is primarily driven by $12.7 million, or 2.1%, decline in comparable cemetery recognized preneed revenue as well as a $3.0 million, or 4.5%, decrease in comparable cemetery other revenue as a result of capital gain distributions in the prior year which did not recur in 2022.
Cemetery Gross Profit
Consolidated cemetery gross profit decreased $18.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in comparable cemetery gross profit of $23.7 million partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in revenue contributed by newly constructed and acquired properties. Comparable cemetery gross profit decreased $23.7 million to $325.9 million, and the gross profit percentage decreased 190 basis points to 36.3%, primarily due to the decline in comparable cemetery revenue mentioned above and a decline in incentive compensation costs during the current year.
Other Financial Statement Items
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $12.1 million to $87.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is related to long-term incentive compensation plan that is tied to increases in total shareholder return as well as increased workers compensation and general liability insurance claims.
Gains on Divestitures and Impairment Charges, Net
We recognized a $0.8 million net pre-tax gain on asset divestitures and impairments in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $7.4 million pre-tax gain on asset divestitures in the six months ended June 30, 2021 associated with the disposition of non-strategic funeral and cemetery locations in the United States and Canada.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $6.4 million to $79.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to our May 2021 refinancing combined with higher interest on our floating rate debt.

Our effective tax rate was 25.8% and 24.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to non-deductible losses in the cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies due to negative returns in the financial markets, which increased tax expense for us in the quarter. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state and foreign tax expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, and Accounting Changes
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from the estimates on which our financial statements are prepared at any given point of time. Changes in these estimates could materially affect our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or cash flows. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue and expense accruals, fair value of merchandise and perpetual care trust assets, and the allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired. Our critical accounting policies have not significantly changed since December 31, 2021 and are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2022 and that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with US GAAP.
