SECURITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORP 10-Q

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview The Company’s operations over the last several years generally reflect three strategies which the Company expects to continue: (i) increased attention to “niche” insurance products, such as the Company’s funeral plan policies and traditional whole life products; (ii) increased emphasis on the funeral home and cemetery business; and (iii) capitalizing on the housing market by originating mortgage loans. Insurance Operations The Company’s life insurance business includes funeral plans and interest-sensitive life insurance, as well as other traditional life, accident and health insurance products. The Company places specific marketing emphasis on funeral plans through pre-need planning. A funeral plan is a small face value life insurance policy that generally has face coverage of up to $30,000. The Company believes that funeral plans represent a marketing niche that is less competitive because most insurance companies do not offer similar coverage. The purpose of the funeral plan policy is to pay the costs and expenses incurred at the time of a person’s death. On a per thousand-dollar cost of insurance basis, these policies can be more expensive to the policyholder than many types of non-burial insurance due to their low face amount, requiring the fixed cost of the policy administration to be distributed over a smaller policy size, and the simplified underwriting practices that result in higher mortality costs. The following table shows the condensed financial results of the insurance operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Three months ended June 30, (in thousands of dollars) Six months ended June 30, (in thousands of dollars) 2026 2025 % Increase (Decrease) 2026 2025 % Increase (Decrease) Revenues from external customers: Insurance premiums $ 28,705 $ 30,186 (5 )% $ 57,560 $ 59,965 (4 )% Net investment income 15,692 20,000 (22 )% 33,410 38,631 (14 )% Gains on investments and other assets 3,048 873 249 % 3,430 1,164 195 % Other revenues 393 466 (16 )% 768 1,051 (27 )% Intersegment revenues 1,679 1,828 (8 )% 3,202 3,148 2 % Total segment revenues $ 49,517 $ 53,353 (7 )% $ 98,370 $ 103,959 (5 )% Segment net earnings $ 6,647 $ 8,267 (20 )% $ 12,585 $ 14,489 (13 )% Profitability for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 decreased due to (a) a $5,221,000 decrease in net investment income, (b) a $2,405,000 decrease in insurance premiums and other considerations, (c) a $283,000 decrease in other revenues, and (d) a $62,000 increase in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, which were partially offset by (i) a $2,266,000 increase in gains on investments and other assets, (ii) a $2,114,000 decrease in policyholder benefits and claims, (iii) a $892,000 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, (iv) a $571,000 decrease in income tax expense, (v) a $113,000 decrease in interest expense, (vi) a $57,000 decrease in intersegment expenses, and (vii) a $54,000 increase in intersegment revenue. 81 Funeral Home and Cemetery Operations The Company sells funeral home services and products through its eleven funeral homes in Utah and four funeral homes in New Mexico. The Company also sells cemetery services, products and land (burial plots) through its five cemeteries in Utah, one cemetery in San Diego County, California, and one cemetery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. At-need funeral home and cemetery product sales and services are recognized as revenue when the services are performed or when the products are delivered. Pre-need funeral home and cemetery product sales and services are deferred until the merchandise is delivered, or services are performed. Revenue for pre-need cemetery land sales is recognized at the time of sale, and land is removed from inventory. The following table shows the condensed financial results of the funeral home and cemetery operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Three months ended June 30, (in thousands of dollars) Six months ended June 30, (in thousands of dollars) 2026 2025 % Increase (Decrease) 2026 2025 % Increase (Decrease) Revenues from external customers: Cemetery revenues $ 4,219 $ 4,093 3 % $ 8,366 $ 7,803 7 % Funeral home revenues 3,381 3,165 7 % 6,967 6,755 3 % Net investment income 541 465 16 % 1,193 887 34 % Gains on investments and other assets 1,533 271 466 % 1,459 481 203 % Other revenues 154 146 5 % 315 334 (6 )% Interesegment revenues 85 85 0 % 169 169 0 % Total segment revenues $ 9,913 $ 8,225 21 % $ 18,469 $ 16,429 12 % Segment net earnings $ 2,288 $ 1,364 68 % $ 3,919 $ 3,068 28 % Profitability in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 increased due to (a) a $978,000 increase in gains on investments and other assets, (b) a $408,000 increase in cemetery pre-need sales, (c) a $306,000 increase in net investment income, (d) a $212,000 increase in funeral home at-need sales, (e) a $155,000 increase in cemetery at-need sales, (f) a $14,000 decrease in intersegment expenses, and (g) a $2,000 decrease in cost of goods and services sold, which were partially offset by (i) a $715,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily attributable to a $461,000 increase in personnel expenses, (ii) a $306,000 increase in income tax expense, (iii) a $184,000 increase in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, and (iv) a $19,000 decrease in other revenues. Mortgage Operations The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage Company (“SecurityNational Mortgage”), is a mortgage lender incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah and approved and regulated by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a department of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which originates mortgage loans that qualify for government insurance in the event of default by the borrower, in addition to various conventional mortgage loan products. SecurityNational Mortgage originates and refinances mortgage loans on a retail basis. Mortgage loans originated or refinanced by SecurityNational Mortgage are funded through loan purchase agreements with Security National Life, Kilpatrick Life and unaffiliated financial institutions. SecurityNational Mortgage receives fees from borrowers that are involved in mortgage loan originations and refinancings, and secondary fees earned from third party investors that purchase the mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) released to third-party investors or retained by SecurityNational Mortgage. SecurityNational Mortgage currently retains the mortgage servicing rights on approximately 1.59% of its loan origination volume. These mortgage loans are serviced by either SecurityNational Mortgage or an approved third-party sub-servicer. 82 Mortgage rates have followed the US Treasury yields in response to inflation and slowing new home sales. As expected, the lack of mortgage rate reductions has resulted in a decrease in loan originations classified as ‘refinance.’ Higher than anticipated mortgage rates have also had a negative effect on loan originations classified as ‘purchases’ although not as significant as those in the refinance classification. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, SecurityNational Mortgage originated 3,011 loans ($1,036,088,000 total loan volume principal amount) and 3,375 loans ($1,134,783,000 total loan volume principal amount), respectively. The following table shows the condensed financial results of the mortgage operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025.

Consolidated Results of Operations Three-month period ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Three-month period ended June 30, 2025 Total revenues decreased by $5,615,000, or 6.3%, to $83,926,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $89,541,000 for the comparable period in 2025. Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was a $4,152,000 decrease in net investment income, a $3,688,000 decrease in mortgage fee income, a $1,481,000 decrease in insurance premiums and other considerations, and a $74,000 decrease in other revenues, which were partially offset by a $3,438,000 increase in gains on investments and other assets and a $342,000 increase in net funeral home and cemetery sales. Mortgage fee income decreased by $3,688,000, or 12.5%, to $25,797,000, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $29,485,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a $3,290,000 decrease in secondary gains from mortgage loans sold to third-party investors into the secondary market reflecting lower overall loan volume and less favorable pricing conditions, and a $638,000 decrease in income from loan originations, and a $498,000 decrease in the fair value of loan commitments, which were partially offset by a $738,000 increase in the fair value of loans held for sale. 83 Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $1,481,000, or 4.9%, to $28,705,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $30,186,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1,820,000 in first year premiums because of a decrease in sales, which was partially offset by an increase of $339,000 in renewal premiums. Net investment income decreased by $4,152,000, or 20.2%, to $16,429,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $20,581,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $6,116,000 decrease in mortgage loan interest resulting from a decline in the average balance of the mortgage loan portfolio held for investment, a $260,000 decrease in insurance assignment income, a $59,000 decrease in fixed maturity securities income, a $26,000 decrease in policy loan interest, and a $14,000 decrease in equity securities income, which were partially offset by a $1,923,000 decrease in investment expenses, a $242,000 increase in interest on cash and cash equivalents, a $115,000 increase in other investment income, and a $41,000 increase in real estate income. Net funeral home and cemetery sales increased by $342,000, or 4.7%, to $7,600,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $7,258,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to a $216,000 increase in funeral home at-need sales, a $104,000 increase in cemetery pre-need sales, and a $22,000 increase in cemetery at-need sales. Gains on investments and other assets increased by $3,438,000 to $4,580,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $1,142,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase in gains on investments and other assets was primarily due to a $3,065,000 increase in gains on equity securities primarily attributable to increases in the fair value of these equity securities and a $628,000 increase in gains on real estate, which were partially offset by a $210,000 decrease in gains on fixed maturity securities and a $45,000 decrease in gains on other assets. Other revenues decreased by $74,000, or 8.3%, to $815,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $889,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $74,000 in other miscellaneous revenues. Policyholder benefits and claims decreased by $1,198,000 or 4.7%, to $24,317,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $25,515,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of a $941,000 decrease in future policy benefits and a $335,000 decrease in death benefits, which were partially offset by a $78,000 increase in surrender and other policy benefits. Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $64,000, or 2.2%, to $2,938,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $2,874,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase is due to a $74,000 increase in the amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs due to an increase in the average outstanding balance, which was partially offset by a $10,000 decrease in the amortization of value of business acquired due to no new deferrals and a decreasing average outstanding balance. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5,231,000, or 10.9%, to $42,730,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $47,961,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of a $3,148,000 decrease in commissions, a $1,665,000 decrease in personnel expenses, a $282,000 decrease in costs related to funding mortgage loans, a $210,000 decrease in advertising expense, a $151,000 decrease in rent and rent related expenses, and a $12,000 decrease in depreciation on property and equipment, which were partially offset by a $237,000 increase in other expenses. Interest expense decreased by $189,000, or 14.6%, to $1,105,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $1,293,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $98,000 in interest expense on bank loans and $91,000 in interest expense on mortgage warehouse lines of credit for loans held for sale. Funeral home and cemetery cost of goods and services sold increased by $18,000, or 1.6%, to $1,177,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $1,159,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $22,000 in pre-need sales, which was partially offset by a decrease of $4,000 in at-need sales. 84 Income tax expense increased by $309,000, or 13.1%, to $2,677,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $2,368,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in earnings before income taxes for 2026 compared to 2025. The Company’s overall effective tax rate increased from 22.1% for 2025 to 23.0% in 2026, a 0.9% increase in the effective tax rate or a 4.1% change. This increase was primarily due to certain permanent tax adjustments that are higher when compared to the prior year. Six-month period ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Six-month period ended June 30, 2025 Total revenues decreased by $8,626,000, or 5.0%, to $163,655,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $172,281,000 for the comparable period in 2025. Contributing to this decrease in total revenues was a $5,007,000 decrease in mortgage fee income, a $4,853,000 decrease in net investment income, a $2,405,000 decrease in insurance premiums and other considerations, and a $338,000 decrease in other revenues, which were partially offset by a $3,202,000 increase in gains on investments and other assets and a $775,000 increase in net funeral home and cemetery sales. Mortgage fee income decreased by $5,007,000, or 9.2%, to $49,287,000, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $54,294,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a $3,830,000 decrease in secondary gains from mortgage loans sold to third-party investors into the secondary market reflecting lower overall loan volume and less favorable pricing conditions, a $1,507,000 decrease in the fair value of loans held for sale, and an $82,000 decrease in income from loan originations, which were partially offset by a $412,000 increase in the fair value of loan commitments. Insurance premiums and other considerations decreased by $2,405,000, or 4.0%, to $57,560,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $59,965,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2,785,000 in first year premiums because of a decrease in sales, which was partially offset by an increase of $380,000 in renewal premiums. Net investment income decreased by $4,853,000, or 12.2%, to $34,930,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $39,783,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $5,806,000 decrease in mortgage loan interest resulting from a decline in the average balance of the mortgage loan portfolio held for investment, a $548,000 decrease in insurance assignment income, a $113,000 decrease in interest on cash and cash equivalents, a $29,000 decrease in policy loan interest, and an $11,000 decrease in fixed maturity securities income, which were partially offset by a $1,364,000 decrease in investment expenses, a $269,000 increase in other investment income, a $20,000 increase in real estate income, and a $1,000 increase in equity securities income. Net funeral home and cemetery sales increased by $775,000, or 5.3%, to $15,333,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $14,558,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to a $408,000 increase in cemetery pre-need sales, a $212,000 increase in funeral home at-need sales, and a $155,000 increase in cemetery at-need sales. Gains on investments and other assets increased by $3,202,000 to $4,931,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $1,729,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase in gains on investments and other assets was primarily due to a $2,639,000 increase in gains on equity securities primarily attributable to increases in the fair value of these equity securities, a $784,000 increase in gains on real estate, and a $10,000 increase in gains on other assets, which were partially offset by a $231,000 decrease in gains on fixed maturity securities. Other revenues decreased by $338,000, or 17.3%, to $1,613,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $1,951,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $338,000 in other miscellaneous revenues. Policyholder benefits and claims decreased by $2,114,000 or 4.1%, to $48,857,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $50,971,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of a $1,619,000 decrease in future policy benefits, a $491,000 decrease in death benefits, and a $4,000 decrease in surrender and other policy benefits. 85 Amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs and value of business acquired increased by $247,000, or 4.4%, to $5,917,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $5,670,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase is due to a $265,000 increase in the amortization of deferred policy and pre-need acquisition costs due to an increase in the average outstanding balance, which was partially offset by an $18,000 decrease in the amortization of value of business acquired due to no new deferrals and a decreasing average outstanding balance. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8,167,000, or 8.9%, to $83,658,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $91,825,000 for the comparable period in 2025.

This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $201,000 in interest expense on mortgage warehouse lines of credit for loans held for sale and a decrease of $111,000 in interest expense on bank loans. Funeral home and cemetery cost of goods and services sold decreased by $1,000, or 0.1%, to $2,411,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $2,412,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $22,000 in at-need sales, which was partially offset by an increase of $21,000 in pre-need sales. Income tax expense increased by $523,000, or 12.4%, to $4,728,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $4,205,000 for the comparable period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in earnings before income taxes for 2026 compared to 2025. The Company’s overall effective tax rate increased from 22.1% for 2025 to 22.8% in 2026, a 0.7% increase in the effective tax rate or a 3.1% change. This increase was primarily due to certain permanent tax adjustments that are higher when compared to the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s life insurance subsidiaries and funeral home and cemetery subsidiaries realize cash flow from premiums, contract payments and sales on personal services rendered for funeral home and cemetery business, from interest and dividends on invested assets, and from the proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments. The mortgage subsidiaries realize cash flow from fees generated by originating and refinancing mortgage loans and fees from mortgage loans held for sale that are sold to investors into the secondary market. It should be noted that current conditions in the financial markets and economy may affect the realization of these expected cash flows. The Company considers these sources of cash flow to be adequate to fund future policyholder and funeral home and cemetery liabilities, which generally are long-term, and adequate to pay current policyholder claims, annuity payments, expenses related to the issuance of new policies, the maintenance of existing policies, debt service, and to meet current operating expenses. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, the Company’s operations provided cash of approximately $36,934,000 and of approximately $1,905,000, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a decrease in originations of loans held for sale and an increase in net earnings. The Company expects to pay out liabilities under its funeral plans over the long term given the nature of those plans. Funeral plans are small face value life insurance policies that payout upon a person’s death to cover funeral burial costs; policyholders generally keep these policies in force until, and do not surrender prior to, death. Because of the long-term nature of these liabilities, the Company can hold to maturity or for the targeted investment period its corresponding bond, real estate, and mortgage loan investments, thus reducing the risk of liquidating these long-term investments because of any sudden changes in their fair values. 86 The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets with its policyholder and funeral home and cemetery liabilities. The Company may sell investments other than those held to maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing matching. The Company purchases short-term investments on a temporary basis to meet the expected short-term requirements of the Company’s insurance products. The Company’s investment philosophy is intended to provide a rate of return for the expected duration of its funeral home and cemetery policies that will exceed the accruing of liabilities under those policies regardless of future interest rate movements. The Company’s investment policy is also to invest predominantly in fixed maturity securities, real estate, mortgage loans, and warehousing of mortgage loans. The warehoused mortgage loans are typically held for sale on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and laws governing the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries. Bonds owned by the insurance subsidiaries amounted to $363,471,000 (at estimated fair value) and $365,986,000 (at estimated fair value) as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. This represented 40.1% and 35.2% of the total investments of the Company as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the life insurance subsidiaries are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Under this rating system, there are six categories used for the rating of bonds. As of June 30, 2026, 1.6% (or $5,966,000) and as of December 31, 2025, 1.6% (or $5,825,000) of the Company’s total bond investments were invested in bonds in rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade. The Company’s life insurance subsidiaries are subject to risk-based capital guidelines established by statutory regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the life insurance subsidiaries were in compliance with the regulatory criteria. The Company’s total capitalization of stockholders’ equity, bank and other loans payable was $555,266,000 as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $508,757,000 as of December 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $22,667,000 in stockholders’ equity and an increase of $23,842,000 in bank and other loans payable. Stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total capitalization was 78.0% and 80.7% as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Two of the Company’s three mortgage warehouse lines of credit, through Western Alliance Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, are scheduled to mature on August 15, 2026. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating renewals of these facilities and anticipates that both will be renewed on substantially similar terms. However, there can be no assurance that such renewals will be completed. If these facilities are not renewed, the Company may need to secure alternative funding sources for its mortgage lending operations, which could result in less favorable terms and temporarily impact loan origination volumes. See Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these warehouse lines. Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular period. The Company’s lapse rate for life insurance in 2025 was 7.2% as compared to a lapse rate of 7.0% for 2024. The 2026 lapse rate to date has been approximately the same as 2025.

The life insurance subsidiaries cannot pay a dividend to their parent company without the approval of state insurance regulatory authorities. 87 Item 3.
