Houston continued, “Our operating performance strongly suggests that we are on course with our objective of improving organic growth for the fiscal year. In the quarter, we continued to execute our strategy of investing in key areas of the business, such as advertising, promotion, training and recruiting, that we believe will drive our future operating performance. Our expenses in the quarter included these investments as well as the costs of improving our operating and financial controls.”
Significant Activities in the Quarter
Implemented Alderwoods Rooms: The Company continued its investment in Alderwoods Rooms in the second quarter, implementing 30 of the arrangement rooms in funeral homes throughout its network. Alderwoods Group expects the total number of Alderwoods Rooms across its network to be approximately 344 by the end of fiscal 2005.
Reduced Long-Term Debt: Alderwoods Group took the opportunity to continue its program of debt reduction, reducing its long-term debt by $22.1 million in the quarter and $53.7 million in the year-to-date.

Over the previous three fiscal years, the Company has engaged in a strategic market rationalization assessment to dispose of cemetery and funeral operating locations that did not fit into the Company’s market or business strategies, as well as under-performing locations and excess cemetery land. As of June 18, 2005, the Company had completed its strategic market rationalization program except for one cemetery which was classified back to continuing operations during the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005.
The Company will, on a smaller scale and over time, continue to assess the Company’s portfolio of funeral and cemetery locations to ensure they continue to fit into the Company’s strategy and long-term vision.

For the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, total net income was $12.1 million, an increase of $18.6 million compared to a loss of $6.5 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. Basic earnings per share were $0.30 for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005 compared to a loss of $0.16 for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.29 for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005 compared to a loss of $0.16 in the year-ago period.
Continuing Operations
Total revenue for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, was $176.8 million compared to $162.3 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004, an increase of $14.5 million, or 8.9%. Revenue increased in each of the business segments — funeral, cemetery and insurance.
Funeral revenue was $110.5 million for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, up $4.2 million compared to $106.3 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. Same site funeral revenue was $110.4 million for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, up $4.5 million compared to $105.9 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The increase in same site performance was largely due to an increase in the average funeral revenue per service of $112 or 2.8% and an increase of 1.5% in the number of funeral services performed.
Funeral gross margin decreased to 18.1% for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, compared to 21.5% for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to increased wages, training and advertising costs related to the Company’s expanded field management structure and investment in programs designed to build local brand awareness and generate future growth.
Cemetery revenue for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, was $43.9 million, $5.6 million, or 14.6% higher than $38.3 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The increase was due primarily to higher pre-need space sales at the Company’s Rose Hills subsidiary, combined with an overall increase in the number of cemetery interments.
Cemetery gross margin was 16.4% for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, compared to 14.1% for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The increase was due primarily to increased space sales and cemetery interments.
Insurance revenue was $22.4 million for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, compared to $17.7 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. Insurance revenue increased primarily due to increases in premiums. Insurance gross margin increased to 3.6% for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, compared to 2.8% for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004, primarily as a result of the revenue increase.
General and administrative expenses totaled $1.7 million for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005 compared to $9.6 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to the reversal of a $10.9 million allowance for doubtful accounts related to the collection subsequent to June 18, 2005 of notes receivable partially offset by a $1.0 million
4
retirement allowance accrual in the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005. The amounts in the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004, include a $0.9 million legal claim accrual reversal and $1.2 million for corporate receivable recoveries that were previously fully reserved against.
For the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, interest expense was $7.0 million, a decrease of $6.5 million compared to the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004, reflecting the effect of principal repayments and lower interest rates compared to the corresponding period in 2004.
For the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, net income tax expense was $7.0 million, compared to net income tax expense of $2.2 million for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The effective tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate in 2005 because in certain jurisdictions, there was a decrease in the valuation allowance for which the benefit has not been recognized in income tax expense.
Net income from continuing operations was $12.9 million, or $0.32 basic and $0.31 diluted earnings per share, for the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.08 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004.
Pre-need funeral and cemetery contracts written during the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, totaled $47.0 million and $24.8 million, respectively. For the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004, pre-need funeral and cemetery contracts written totaled $44.1 million and $21.0 million, respectively. The Company is continuing its program to increase pre-need sales. The Company believes that pre-need sales are an important part of building the foundation for future revenue.
Discontinued Operations
For the 12 weeks ended June 18, 2005, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $0.8 million, or $0.02 basic and diluted loss per share compared to a loss of $9.7 million or $0.24 basic and diluted loss per share for the 12 weeks ended June 19, 2004.

General and administrative expenses totaled $12.3 million for the 24 weeks ended June 18, 2005 compared to $21.3 million for the 24 weeks ended June 19, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to the reversal of a $10.9 million allowance for doubtful accounts related to the collection subsequent to June 18, 2005 of notes receivable and a $0.9 million reduction of an accrual on the settlement of a legal matter relating to a trustee fee dispute, partially offset by a $1.0 million retirement allowance accrual in the 24 weeks ended June 18, 2005. The amounts in the 24 weeks ended June 19, 2004 include a $0.9 million legal claim accrual reversal and $1.2 million for corporate receivable recoveries that were previously fully reserved against.
For the 24 weeks ended June 18, 2005, interest expense was $14.5 million, a decrease of $4.3 million compared to the 24 weeks ended June 19, 2004, reflecting the effect of principal repayments and lower interest rates compared to the corresponding period in 2004.
