**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

*The Company*

Carriage Services, Inc. ("Carriage," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a leading provider of funeral and cemetery services and merchandise in the United States. Our operations are reported in two business segments: Funeral Home Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 70% of our total revenue and Cemetery Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 30% of our total revenue. At June 30, 2025, we operated 159 funeral homes in 25 states and 28 cemeteries in 10 states.

Our funeral home operations are principally service businesses that generate revenue from sales of burial and cremation services and related merchandise, such as caskets and urns. Funeral services include consultation, the removal and preparation of remains, the sale of caskets and related funeral merchandise, the use of funeral home facilities for visitation and memorial services and transportation services. We provide funeral services and products on both an "atneed" (time of death) and "preneed" (planned prior to death) basis.

Our cemetery operations generate revenue primarily through sales of cemetery interment rights (primarily grave sites, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces and niches), related cemetery merchandise (such as memorial markers, outer burial containers and monuments) and services (interments, inurnments and installation of cemetery merchandise). We provide cemetery services and products on both an atneed and preneed basis.

*Principles of Consolidation and Interim Condensed Disclosures*

Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, which consist of normal, recurring accruals, that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of and for the interim periods presented.

There have been no material changes in our accounting policies previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting principles described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, unless otherwise disclosed herein, and should be read in conjunction therewith.

*Use of Estimates*

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical estimates and judgments, which include those related to the impairment of goodwill and the fair value measurements used in business combinations. These policies are considered critical because they may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to significant judgments, estimates and assumptions about complex and inherently uncertain matters and because the use of different judgments, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. Historical performance should not be viewed as indicative of future performance because there can be no assurance the margins, operating income and net earnings, as a percentage of revenue, will be consistent from period to period.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents* 

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

*Inventory*

Inventory consists primarily of caskets, outer burial containers and cemetery monuments and markers and is recorded at the lower of its cost basis or net realizable value. Inventory is relieved using specific identification in fulfillment of performance obligations on our contracts.

*Held for Sale*

At June 30, 2025, the assets and liabilities of non-core funeral home and cemetery businesses expected to be sold within the next twelve months, which have met the criteria for such classification, have been classified as held for sale.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold two funeral homes and three cemeteries that had a carrying value of property, plant, and equipment of $3.4 million, which was included in the gain on sale and recorded in *Net (gain) loss on divestitures, disposals, and impairment charges* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, more fully described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold real property for $3.0 million, with a carrying value of $1.0 million, resulting in a $2.0 million gain on the sale, which was recorded in *Net (gain) loss on divestitures, disposals, and impairment charges* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold six funeral homes and one cemetery that had a carrying value of property, plant, and equipment of $3.1 million, which was included in the loss on sale and recorded in *Net (gain) loss on divestitures, disposals, and impairment charges* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, we sold real property for $0.3 million, with a carrying value of $0.3 million.

Our growth and maintenance capital expenditures totaled $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, we recorded depreciation expense of $3.3 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6.8 million and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Cemetery Property*

Cemetery property was $110.7 million and $112.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $73.7 million and $72.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. When cemetery property is sold, the value of the cemetery property (interment right costs) is expensed as amortization using the specific identification method in the period in which the sale of the interment right is recognized as revenue. Our growth capital expenditures for cemetery property development totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recorded amortization expense for cemetery interment rights of $2.2 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4.1 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold three cemeteries that had a carrying value of cemetery property of $3.3 million, which was included in the gain on sale and recorded in *Net (gain) loss on divestitures, disposals, and impairment charges* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, more fully described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold one cemetery that had a carrying value of cemetery property of $0.8 million, which was included in the loss on sale and recorded in *Net (gain) loss on divestitures, disposals, and impairment charges* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Income Taxes*

Income tax expense was $5.1 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10.4 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our operating tax rate before discrete items was 31.2% and 33.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 31.2% and 33.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS**

*Income Taxes*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU, *Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* to enhance the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation; and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments in this update also require that all entities disclose on an annual basis (1) the amount of net income taxes paid disaggregated by federal and state taxes; and (2) the amount of net income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which net income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total net income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore were effective for us for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, and for interim periods within our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026. The adoption has no material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it modified disclosure requirements only.

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

**Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

*Expense Disaggregation*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures*. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The amendments in this update require, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption will have no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as it modifies disclosure requirements only.

Balances due on undelivered preneed cemetery contracts have been reclassified to reduce *Deferred preneed cemetery revenue* on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The transaction price allocated to preneed merchandise and service performance obligations that were unfulfilled were $15.8 million and $13.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As these performance obligations are to be completed after the date of death, we cannot quantify the recognition of revenue in future periods. However, we estimate an average maturity period of eight years for preneed cemetery contracts.

**6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

We evaluated our financial assets and liabilities for those that met the criteria of the disclosure requirements and fair value framework. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate the fair values of those instruments due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair values of our receivables on preneed cemetery contracts are impracticable to estimate because of the lack of a trading market and the diverse number of individual contracts with varying terms. Our acquisition debt and Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9) and Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10) are classified within Level 2 of the Fair Value Measurements hierarchy.

At June 30, 2025, the carrying value and fair value of our Credit Facility was $112.9 million. We believe that our Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and therefore, the carrying value of our Credit Facility approximates fair value. We estimate the fair value of our acquisition debt utilizing an income approach, which uses a present value calculation to discount payments based on current market rates as of the reporting date. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of our acquisition debt was $5.4 million, which approximated its fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes was $378.3 million at June 30, 2025, based on the last traded or broker quoted price.

We identified investments in fixed income securities, common stock and mutual funds presented within the preneed and perpetual care trust investments categories on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as having met the criteria for fair value measurement. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, investments held by the trusts are classified as Level 1 investments pursuant to the three-level valuation hierarchy. Our Level 1 investments include cash, common stock and equity

------

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)**

mutual funds. Where quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of similar securities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that can corroborate observable market data. These investments are fixed income securities, including U.S. agency obligations, foreign debt, corporate debt, preferred stocks, certificates of deposit and fixed income mutual funds and other investments, all of which are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

In addition, we have an investment in a limited partnership fund, whose fair value has been estimated using the net asset value per share ("NAV") practical expedient described in ASC 820-10-35-59, *Fair Value Measurement of Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)* and therefore, has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The investment strategy of this fund is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns over a multi-year performance period through the construction of a concentrated portfolio of investments possessing certain distinct business attributes that suggest the potential for long-term value creation. The value of the investments in this fund cannot be liquidated at June 30, 2025 because the investments include restrictions that do not allow for liquidation until 2027. As of June 30, 2025, we do not have an unfunded commitment for this investment.

Furthermore, we have two investments in real estate debt and structured credit ("alternative investments"), whose fair value has been estimated using NAV and therefore, has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The investment strategy for these alternative investments is to create capital growth, income generation, and risk-adjusted returns. Capital growth is achieved by identifying high-potential investments that are appreciated over time. Income generation may involve dividends, rental income, or interest from various investments. Risk-adjusted returns focus on balancing potential profits with acceptable levels of risk, often through diversification and careful asset allocation. The real estate debt is approximately 48% of the total alternative investment and can be liquidated with a 40-day notice period and cannot exceed 5% of the total fund's value. The structured credit is approximately 52% of the total alternative investment and can be liquidated with a 15-day notice period with no restrictions. As of June 30, 2025, we do not have an unfunded commitment for these investments.

Our receivables from preneed funeral trusts represent assets in trusts which are controlled and operated by third parties in which we do not have a controlling financial interest (less than 50%) in the trust assets. We account for these investments at cost. See Notes 7 and 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value hierarchy levels of our trust investments.

**7. TRUST INVESTMENTS**

Preneed trust investments represent trust fund assets that we are generally permitted to withdraw as the services and merchandise are provided to customers. Preneed funeral and cemetery contracts are secured by payments from customers, less amounts not required by law to be deposited into trust. These earnings are recognized in *Other revenue* on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, when a service is performed or merchandise is delivered. Trust management fees charged by our wholly owned registered investment advisory firm are included as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Our investments are diversified across multiple industry segments using a balanced allocation strategy to minimize long-term risk. We do not intend to sell and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.

Cemetery perpetual care trust investments represent a portion of the proceeds from the sale of cemetery property interment rights that we are required by various state laws to deposit into perpetual care trust funds. The income earned from these perpetual care trusts offsets maintenance expenses for cemetery property and memorials. This trust fund income is recognized in *Other revenue.* 

Changes in the fair value of our trust fund assets (*Preneed funeral, cemetery and perpetual care trust investments*) are offset by changes in the fair value of our trust fund liabilities (*Deferred preneed funeral and cemetery receipts held in trust* and *Care trusts' corpus*) and reflected in *Other, net*. There is no impact on earnings until such time the services are performed, or the merchandise is delivered, causing the contract to be withdrawn from the trust in accordance with state regulations and the gain or loss is allocated to the contract.

We rely on our trust investments to provide funding for the various contractual obligations that arise upon maturity of the underlying preneed contracts. Because of the long-term relationship between the establishment of trust investments and the required performance of the underlying contractual obligations, the impact of current market conditions that may exist at any given time is not necessarily indicative of our ability to generate profit on our future performance obligations.

**9. CREDIT FACILITY AND ACQUISITION DEBT**

At June 30, 2025, our senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Credit Facility") was comprised of: (i) a $250.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $15.0 million subfacility for letters of credit and a $10.0 million swingline, and (ii) an accordion or incremental option allowing for future increases in the facility size by an additional amount of up to $75.0 million in the aggregate in the form of increased revolving commitments or incremental term loans.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the same subsidiaries which guarantee the Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10) and certain of our subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors").

On July 31, 2024, the Company entered into a fourth amendment, (the "Credit Facility Amendment"), to our Credit Facility, with the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Facility Amendment provided, among other things, for (i) the extension of the maturity date of the Credit Facility to July 31, 2029, provided that, if the Senior Notes (as defined in the Credit Facility) have a stated maturity date that is prior to July 31, 2029, then the maturity date shall instead be the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Senior Notes; (ii) the establishment of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as a benchmark rate and the removal of BSBY from the Credit Facility, including conforming revisions to certain defined terms under the Credit Facility; (iii) the conversion of each existing BSBY Rate Loan (as defined in the Credit Facility prior to giving effect to the Credit Facility Amendment) to a Term SOFR Loan (as defined in the Credit Facility); (iv) modifications to the definitions of "Applicable Rate" and "Applicable Fee Rate" to change the applicable rates and pricing levels set forth in each pricing grid; (v) the removal of certain mandatory prepayments arising from the issuance of either Equity Interests or Debt (as both are defined by the Credit Facility); and (vi)

modifications to the permitted investments covenant, relating to the Company's ability to make certain acquisitions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants with respect to the use of proceeds, payment of taxes and other obligations, continuation of the Company's business and the maintenance of existing rights and privileges, the maintenance of property and insurance, among others.

In addition, the Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict (subject to certain exceptions) the ability of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, engage in mergers and acquisitions, and pay dividends and other restricted payments, and certain financial maintenance covenants. At June 30, 2025, we were subject to the following financial covenants under our Credit Facility: (A) a Total Leverage Ratio not to exceed 5.00 to 1.00 and (B) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. These financial maintenance covenants are calculated for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. We were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in our Credit Facility at June 30, 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Senior Notes, which are Level 2 measurements, was $378.3 million.

The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of May 13, 2021 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Senior Notes are unsecured, senior obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed or purchased and bear interest at 4.25% per year, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021.

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants limiting our ability and our Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets, agree to certain restrictions on the ability of Restricted Subsidiaries to make payments to us, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or engage in transactions with affiliates.

**12. SEGMENT REPORTING**

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"), who is the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes segment operating income (loss) for resource allocation across segments, particularly during the annual budgeting and forecasting processes. The CODM examines variances on a monthly basis to make informed decisions regarding capital and personnel distribution among segments. Additionally, the CODM employs segment gross profit for product pricing evaluation and uses segment adjusted operating profit to assess each segment's performance by comparing results and return on assets against expected outcomes.

The tables below present revenue, disaggregated by major source for each of our reportable segments, as well as, significant segment expenses, other segment expenses, operating income (loss), depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income (loss) before income taxes, income tax expense (benefit), capital expenditures and number of operating locations by segment as follows, (in thousands, except number of operating locations) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

**Item 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.** 

**OVERVIEW**

*General*

We operate in two business segments: Funeral Home Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 70% of our total revenue and Cemetery Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 30% of our total revenue. At June 30, 2025, we operated 159 funeral homes in 25 states and 28 cemeteries in 10 states.

Our funeral home operations are principally service businesses that generate revenue from sales of burial and cremation services and related merchandise, such as caskets and urns. Funeral services include consultation, the removal and preparation of remains, the sale of caskets and related funeral merchandise, the use of funeral home facilities for visitation and memorial services and transportation services. We provide funeral services and products on both an "atneed" (time of death) and "preneed" (planned prior to death) basis.

Our cemetery operations generate revenue primarily through sales of cemetery interment rights (primarily grave sites, lawn crypts, mausoleum spaces and niches), related cemetery merchandise (such as memorial markers, outer burial containers and monuments) and services (interments, inurnments and installation of cemetery merchandise). We provide cemetery services and products on both an atneed and preneed basis.

**COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS**

*Divestitures*

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold two funeral homes and three cemeteries for an aggregate of $15.8 million resulting in a gain of $5.9 million. Additionally, we sold real property for $3.0 million resulting in a gain of $2.0 million.

On July 16, 2025, we sold three funeral homes and one cemetery that was included in held for sale at June 30, 2025, for an aggregate of $5.5 million.

*Macroeconomic, Inflationary, Borrowing Cost, and Volume Trends* 

During the first half of 2025, consumer spending on discretionary items continued to reflect mixed trends. Based on various economic indicators, overall consumer spending remained strong, particularly among high-income earners, but it appears there was a shift towards more cautious spending, especially for middle and low-income households. We believe this caution was influenced by factors like rising inflation, additional tariffs, and a more uncertain economic outlook. Broad economic indicators have indicated that consumer confidence in the U.S. economy has been dropping or remained flat over the past several months and may continue to drop, which could further influence consumer spending and the demand for our products and services. Additionally, in April 2025, the U.S. announced a series of new and increased tariffs on countries and specific goods, subject to evolving exemptions and additional proposed revisions. Certain of these tariffs have been stayed or otherwise modified and, since April 2025, the U.S. has continued to announce new or revised tariffs. Those policies, along with retaliatory actions by some trading partners and ongoing negotiations around trade policy, have led to increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tarrifs on economic conditions, volatility, and unpredictability for global trade. Given these uncertainties and the potential of rising tariffs, we evaluated, and continue to evaluate, our current vendor agreements for our major vendors to ensure, to the extent possible, we adequately addressed any associated risks. Two vendors are currently impacted because they source a higher number of imported products from countries which have higher tariff impacts. To mitigate this risk, these vendors have shifted the source of their products to countries that have a lower tariff impact.

We also continue to monitor the impacts of inflationary costs to our business. While we are encouraged by the stabilization of inflationary costs that we have continued to experience in the first half of 2025 and throughout 2024, we are unable to forecast with any certainty whether inflationary costs will continue to moderate in future periods, as the ultimate scope and duration of these impacts could change as a result of the impact of increased tariffs and remain unknown at this time. More broadly, the U.S. economy continues to experience the impact of several years of higher rates of inflation, which has impacted a wide variety of industries and sectors, with consumers facing rising prices. Such inflation may negatively impact consumer discretionary spending, including the amount that consumers are able to spend on our services, although we have not experienced any material impacts to date and our industry has been largely resilient to similar adverse economic and market environments in the past.

------

Although such conditions have not materially impacted our business to date and we expect these trends to continue in 2025, we will continue to assess these impacts and take the appropriate steps, if necessary, to mitigate any changes in consumer preferences or additional cost increases, if possible.

In addition, after giving effect to the Credit Facility Amendment, executed during the third quarter of 2024, we continue to experience lower variable interest rates under our Credit Facility, which resulted in lower borrowing costs in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. Further contributing to our lower borrowing costs was the pay down of $24 million on our revolving credit facility during the first half of 2025.

During the first quarter of 2025, we experienced higher funeral volumes compared to the same period in the prior year, which we believe was partially related to a delay in the flu season, resulting in continued fluctuations in the death rate. Although we expect fluctuations in the death rate to continue, we are unable to predict or forecast the duration or variation of the death rate with any certainty. Regardless of these fluctuations in the death rate, we continue to focus on expanding market share, cost management and executing on our strategic operational plans.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

*Overview*

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are internally generated cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Credit Facility.

We generate cash in our operations primarily from atneed sales and delivery of preneed sales. We also generate cash from earnings on our cemetery perpetual care trusts. Based on our recent operating results, current cash position and anticipated future cash flows, we do not anticipate any significant liquidity constraints in the foreseeable future. We have the ability to draw on our Credit Facility, as needed, subject to its customary terms and conditions. For additional details related to our debt and lease obligations, including our Credit Facility, Acquisition Debt and Senior Notes, refer to Notes 9 and 10 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For 2025, our plan is to remain focused on executing our strategic objectives and growth strategy. This includes prioritizing our capital allocation for debt repayments, the payment of dividends and debt obligations, internal growth capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and potential strategic growth acquisitions, as allowed under our Credit Facility. We expect to fund these payments using cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe that our existing and anticipated cash resources, including, as needed, additional borrowings or other financings that we may be able to obtain, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, commitments, potential growth acquisitions and dividends for the next 12 months, as well as our long-term financial obligations.

However, if our capital allocations and expenditures or acquisition plans change, we may need to access the capital markets or seek further borrowing capacity from our lenders to obtain additional funding and we may not be able to obtain such funding on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us. Further, to the extent operating cash flow or access to and cost of financing sources are materially different than expected, future liquidity may be adversely affected. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause cash flow or access to and cost of finance sources to differ from our expectations, please read Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Cash Flows*

We began 2025 with $1.2 million in cash and ended the quarter with $1.4 million in cash. At June 30, 2025, we had borrowings of $112.9 million outstanding on our Credit Facility compared to $137.0 million at December 31, 2024.

The term "divested" when discussed in the cemetery segment refers to three cemeteries we sold during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and one cemetery we sold during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The term "ancillary" in the funeral home segment represents our flower shop, monument business, pet cremation business and online cremation businesses.

Cemetery property amortization, field depreciation expense and regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs, are not included in adjusted operating profit, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adding back these items will result in gross profit, a GAAP financial measure.

---

Funeral home operating revenue increased $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in operating revenue is primarily driven by a 0.9% increase in the average revenue per contract excluding preneed interest and a 0.5% increase in contract volume.

Funeral home adjusted operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $1.2 million when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase in operating expense. The comparable operating profit margin decreased 250 basis points to 37.0%. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased 2.5%, with the largest increases being in investment expense, facilities and grounds expense, other funeral costs, and general and administrative expense.

Ancillary revenue, which represents revenue from our flower shop, monument business, pet cremation business and online cremation businesses, decreased $0.2 million, while ancillary adjusted operating profit decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in ancillary revenue is primarily due to a decision to cease the operations of a cremation focused business during the first quarter of 2024, which did not contribute materially to adjusted operating profit.

*Other revenue* and other adjusted operating profit, which consists of preneed funeral insurance commissions and earnings from delivered preneed funeral trust and insurance contracts, increased $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. These increases are primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in our general agency commission income for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, which is a result of our continued focus on growth of our preneed funeral sales through our strategic partnership with a national insurance provider.

Funeral home operating revenue increased $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in operating revenue was primarily driven by a 1.6% increase in the average revenue per contract excluding preneed interest while contract volume remained up. The increase in revenue is driven by our success in implementing our enhanced pricing strategy through 2024, which contributed to the increase in average revenue per funeral contract.

Funeral home adjusted operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $1.0 million when compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting our ongoing focus on cost efficiency and operational improvements. The comparable adjusted operating profit margin decreased 40 basis points to 40.1%, driven by a 0.4% increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. Key expense increases include facilities and grounds expense, general and administrative expense, and investment expense. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits.

Ancillary revenue, which represents revenue from our flower shop, monument business, pet cremation business and online cremation businesses decreased $0.4 million, while ancillary adjusted operating profit decreased $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in ancillary revenue is primarily due to a decision to cease the operations of a cremation focused business during the first quarter of 2024, which did not contribute materially to adjusted operating profit.

*Other revenue* and other adjusted operating profit, which consists of preneed funeral insurance commissions and earnings from delivered preneed funeral trust and insurance contracts, increased $2.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. These increases are primarily due to the increase in our general agency commission income earned on the sale of preneed insurance policies as we continue to focus on growth of our preneed funeral sales through our strategic partnership with a national insurance provider that began during the second quarter of 2023.

Cemetery operating revenue decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, as we experienced a 2.4% decrease in the average price per interment right sold and a 0.2% decrease in the number of preneed interment rights (property) sold. Cemetery atneed revenue, which represents approximately 29.8% of our total operating revenue, increased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a 19.9% increase in property sold on atneed contracts across our cemetery portfolio.

Cemetery adjusted operating profit decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. The comparable operating profit margin decreased 480 basis points to 44.9%. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased 4.8%, with the largest increases in salaries and benefits expenses, allowance for credit losses, promotional expenses, facilities and grounds insurance expense, and general and administrative expense.

*Other revenue* and other adjusted operating profit, which consist of preneed cemetery trust revenue and preneed cemetery finance charges, decreased $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in expected earnings for the current year in our perpetual care trust fund compared to earnings in prior year.

Cemetery operating revenue increased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a 2.7% increase in the average price per preneed interment right sold; offset by a 2.1% decrease in the number of preneed interment rights sold. Cemetery atneed revenue, which represents approximately 32% of our total operating revenue, increased $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a 12.9% increase in property sold on atneed contracts across our cemetery portfolio.

Cemetery adjusted operating profit decreased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage revenue. The comparable operating profit margin decreased 400 basis points to 43.0%. Operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue increased 4.1%, driven by increases in key expenses such as promotional expenses, salaries and benefits, allowance for credit losses, and facilities and ground insurance.

*Other revenue* and other adjusted operating profit, which consist of preneed cemetery trust revenue and preneed cemetery finance charges, decreased $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. These decreases are primarily due to a decrease in expected earnings for the current year in our perpetual care trust fund compared to earnings in prior year.

*Cemetery property amortization.* Cemetery property amortization totaled $2.2 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million and $0.2 million compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily driven by the decrease in private mausoleums sold across our cemetery portfolio.

*Field depreciation.* Depreciation expense for our field businesses totaled $3.3 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million and $0.3 million compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily driven by our business decision to lease vehicles rather than purchase them.

*Regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs.* Regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs consist of salaries and benefits for regional management, field incentive compensation and other related costs for field infrastructure. Regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs totaled $3.3 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, a decrease of $1.0 million and an increase of $0.4 million compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily driven by a $1.4 million increase in leadership and development expenses.

***Other Financial Statement Items***

*General, administrative and other.* General, administrative and other expenses, which include salaries and benefits and cash and equity incentive compensation for our Houston support office, totaled $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $6.7 million compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by the following: i) a $5.4 million decrease in consulting fees related to the Company's previously concluded review of strategic alternatives, ii) a $0.9 million decrease in incentive compensation expense, and iii) a $0.8 million decrease in separation and severance expenses recorded in the prior year related to our former Chief Financial Officer pursuant to his Separation and Release Agreement dated June 6, 2024. These decreases were offset by a net $0.4 million increase in various other general and administrative expenses.

*General, administrative and other.* General, administrative and other expenses, which include salaries and benefits and cash and equity incentive compensation for our Houston support office, totaled $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an decrease of $10.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the following: i) a $6.6 million decrease in salary and benefits expenses and cash and equity incentive compensation costs, primarily driven by the termination expense of our founder and former Executive Chairman of the Board pursuant to his Transition Agreement and termination expense for our former Chief Financial Officer pursuant to his Separation and Release Agreement recorded in the prior year, and ii) a $5.5 million decrease in other professional fees primarily related to the development of our digital transformation project.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES** 

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses judgment, assumptions and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We have identified Goodwill as an accounting policy that requires significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and has a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. This policy is considered critical because it may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions about complex and inherently uncertain matters and because the use of different judgments, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. Historical performance should not be viewed as indicative of future performance because there can be no assurance the margins, operating income and net earnings, as a percentage of revenue, will be consistent from period to period. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.**

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7(a), "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2024.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**

***Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at June 30, 2025 and that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with US GAAP.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

We and our subsidiaries are parties to a number of legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

We self-insure against certain risks and carry insurance with coverage and coverage limits for risk in excess of the coverage amounts consistent with our assessment of risks in our business and of an acceptable level of financial exposure. Although there can be no assurance that self-insurance reserves and insurance will be sufficient to mitigate all damages, claims, or contingencies, we believe that the reserves and our insurance provides reasonable coverage for known asserted and unasserted claims. In the event we sustain a loss from a claim and the insurance carrier disputes coverage or coverage limits, we may record a charge in a different period than the recovery, if any, from the insurance carrier.

*Denning v. Carriage Services, Inc., et al*., Superior Court of California, Ventura County, Case No. 2024 CU OE 028098. On July 29, 2024, a wage and hour class action was filed against the Company and several of its subsidiaries. Plaintiff, a former employee, seeks monetary damages on behalf of herself and other similarly situated current and former non-exempt employees as the putative class for the alleged failure to pay legally mandated compensation and reimbursement expenses. As of June 30, 2025, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or ranges of loss, if any. The prospective class has not been certified by a court of competent jurisdiction and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all respects.

*Frost v. Rolling Hills Memorial Park*, Superior Court of California, Contra Costa County, Case No. C24-02653. On October 4, 2024, a consumer class action was filed against the Company's subsidiary, Rolling Hills Memorial Park. Plaintiff, an owner of an interment right and purchaser of merchandise and services from Rolling Hills Memorial Park, seeks monetary damages on behalf of herself and other similarly situated current and former consumers and owners of interment rights as the putative class for the alleged failure to properly set cemetery merchandise and maintain the perpetual care cemetery. As of June 30, 2025, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or ranges of loss, if any. The prospective class has not been certified by a court of competent jurisdiction and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all respects.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

In light of recent developments regarding U.S. foreign trade policies, we are supplementing the risk factors set out under Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the updated risk factor set out below. Readers should carefully consider the updated risk factor below and the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

**GENERAL RISKS**

***Economic Conditions and Natural Disasters***

**Changes in U.S. foreign trade policies, including the imposition of additional tariffs and other trade barriers, and efforts to withdraw from or materially modify international trade agreements, may materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.**

Changes in U.S. foreign trade policies could lead to the imposition of additional trade barriers and tariffs on the foreign import of certain materials and products. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. government imposed an additional tariff on all countries for goods imported into the U.S. and individualized reciprocal higher tariffs for other countries, such as China, Mexico and Canada. Although several of these announced U.S. tariffs have been followed by announcements of temporary pauses for 90 days, along with limited exemptions, it is uncertain whether and to what extent they may become effective following this period. These actions have caused substantial uncertainty and volatility in financial markets and may result in additional retaliatory measures or costs on U.S. goods. We cannot predict what additional changes to trade policy will be announced or made by the U.S. government, including whether existing tariff policies will be maintained or modified, what products may be subject to such policies or whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements will occur, nor can we predict the effects that any such changes would have on our business. However, such steps, if adopted, could result in additional inflationary pressures on the U.S. economy and increase the costs of goods we offer our customers and may negatively impact the supply chain on which we depend to supply merchandise to our funeral home and cemetery locations. Although we may take measures to mitigate the effects of these impacts, if these measures are not effective, there can be no assurance that such changes in U.S. trade policy or in laws and policies governing foreign trade would not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
