Item 8.01. Other Events
Service Corporation International (SCI or the Company) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to revise information that was previously reported in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to reflect operations that have been classified as discontinued operations since the time of the filing of that Form 10-Q.
This report is limited to the revisions to reflect certain businesses as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. No attempt has been made in this Form 8-K to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the original Form 10-Q except as required to reflect the effects of the items described below.
Discontinued Operations
In 1999, the Company began an initiative to identify and address non-strategic or underperforming businesses. As a result of this assessment, the Company committed to a plan in June 2004 to divest the existing funeral and cemetery operations in Argentina and Uruguay. The Company is actively marketing these operations and plans to have no continuing interest in these operations subsequent to the disposal of the Argentina and Uruguay businesses. As a result, the Company classified these operations as discontinued operations.
