First, we have completed and rolled out an updated Cemetery Standards Operating Model and recruited the organizational leadership both at the corporate and field level to take our Cemetery Portfolio performance to a much higher and sustainable level over time. Second, we have recently made substantial structural changes in how we manage and receive compensation from our trust funds, which should result in higher sustainable financial revenue over time. Third, we completed the refinancing of our $130 million of 7⅞% senior notes due 2015 with a

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release uses Non-GAAP financial measures to present the financial performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's GAAP financial statements accompany this release. Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are provided at the end of the press release.
The Non-GAAP financial measures include "Free Cash Flow", "Funeral and Cemetery Field EBITDA", "Total Field EBITDA", "Consolidated EBITDA", "Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA", "Special Items", "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Earnings Per Share" in this press release. These financial measurements are defined as similar GAAP items adjusted for Special Items itemized on page 6 and reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 to 14. In addition, the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in other companies' reports. These financial measures are used by management to understand and explain the Company's operations and financial results.
Certain state regulations allow the withdrawal of financial income from preneed cemetery merchandise and services trust funds when realized in the trust. Under current generally accepted accounting principles, trust income is only recognized in the Company's financial statements at a later time when the related merchandise and services sold on the preneed contract is delivered at the time of death. Carriage has provided financial income from the trusts, termed "Withdrawable Trust Income (loss)" and reported on a Non-GAAP proforma basis within Special Items in the accompanying Non-GAAP Unaudited Income Statement, to reflect the current cash results. Management believes that the Withdrawable Trust Income provides useful information to investors because it presents income and cash flow when earned by the trusts.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made herein or elsewhere by, or on behalf of, the Company that are not historical facts are intended to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable; however, many important factors, as discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, could cause the Company's results in the future to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein and in any other documents or oral presentations made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements made herein or any other
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. A copy of the Company's Form 10-K, and other
