Sales momentum trumps soft volumes
Q&A largely reaffirmed prepared remarks and 2026 guidance, but highlighted strong early-year preneed sales momentum—especially cemetery—despite soft funeral volumes against tough comps. Management detailed four sales pillars driving velocity: people retention via fixed comp, more seminars for leads, conversion focus, and large sales push; a cremation cemetery pilot is now rolling out network-wide. GA commissions stabilized in mid-30s post-insurance kinks like flex products and cancellations, with ~200bps Q4 catch-up baked in. Expense growth stays sub-inflation through supply chain and labor dashboards. Commissions normalized. M&A pipeline mirrors prior tuck-ins. Bullish tone if volumes flatten; watch demographic tailwinds.
