Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL

Many of the former owners and staff of our acquired funeral home and cemetery businesses have provided high quality service to families for generations, which often represents a substantial portion of the value of a business. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired funeral home and cemetery businesses is recorded as goodwill.

The following table presents changes in goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Goodwill at the beginning of the period	$	427,897	$	414,859
Increase in goodwill related to acquisitions	—		37,746
Decrease in goodwill related to divestitures	—		(24,708)
Decrease in goodwill related to assets held for sale	(179)		—
Goodwill at the end of the period	$	427,718	$	427,897

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we allocated $0.2 million of goodwill to assets held for sale in our funeral home segment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we allocated $4.2 million of goodwill to the sale of two funeral homes and three cemeteries which was recorded in Net loss (gain) on divestitures and impairment charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $2.6 million was allocated to our funeral home segment and $1.6 million was allocated to our cemetery segment.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company implemented an executive leadership restructuring that resulted in changes to the manner in which certain operations are managed and reviewed. As a result of these changes, the Company reassessed its reporting unit structure in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The Company concluded that its previously identified reporting units within the funeral home segment no longer meet the definition of separate reporting units, as discrete financial information for those components is no longer regularly reviewed by management for purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. Accordingly, the Company aggregated these components into a single reporting unit.

This change did not affect the Company’s operating segments as determined under ASC 280. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and therefore no impairment charge was recognized.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We did not acquire any businesses during the three months ended March 31, 2026. On September 9, 2025, we acquired a business consisting of six funeral homes, one cemetery, and one cremation focused business in the Orlando, FL area for approximately $49.0 million. The purchase price consisted of $47.0 million in cash at closing and $2.0 million of deferred purchase price payments. The net present value of such future deferred purchase price payments was $1.3 million. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of these businesses.

On September 17, 2025, we acquired a business consisting of two funeral homes in the Pensacola, FL area for $9.5 million in cash. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of this business.

The primary reasons for the acquisitions that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include enhancement of our footprint in strategic markets and the addition of deferred revenue that will enhance our long-term stability.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions on prior periods is not presented, as the impact is not significant to our reported results. The results of the acquired businesses are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the breakdown of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the businesses described above (in thousands):


	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Current assets	$	3,302
Preneed trust assets	4,068
Property, plant, and equipment	23,315
Cemetery property	2,733
Goodwill	37,746
Intangible and other non-current assets	3,222
Assumed liabilities	(1,293)

Preneed trust liabilities	(4,068)
Deferred revenue	(12,526)
Purchase price	$	56,499

The purchase price allocation was updated for immaterial measurement-period adjustments; no other material changes to the acquisition accounting were identified. The purchase accounting is preliminary as we have not finalized our assessment of the fair value because there has been insufficient time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these financial statements to complete our review and the final determination of fair value. We are also currently reviewing the allocation of goodwill between segments.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2026
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	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, 2025. 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, 2025, unless otherwise disclosed herein, and should be read in conjunction therewith.
Use of Estimates	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	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 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	Held for Sale The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale (“HFS”) in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; (2) the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; (5) the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Additionally, depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived assets, included in the disposal group, are classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items current and non-current assets held for sale and current and long-term liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Held for sale balances on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily consist of $0.5 million and $0.2 million of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, respectively, at March 31, 2026, and $0.3 million property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2025.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense for interim periods is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items recognized in the period incurred, such as tax return filings, tax audit settlements, statute expirations, and changes in valuation allowances. Our effective tax rate before discrete items was 28.1% and 31.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income tax expense including discrete items was $4.9 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Accounting Pronouncements	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. Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. Under the new guidance, costs associated with software developed for internal use will now be capitalized when management authorizes a project and when it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended, rather than when a project reaches the application development stage under existing guidance. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis. We have not determined the transition method, timing for adoption, or estimated the effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 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. Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. Under the new guidance, costs associated with software developed for internal use will now be capitalized when management authorizes a project and when it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended, rather than when a project reaches the application development stage under existing guidance. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis. We have not determined the transition method, timing for adoption, or estimated the effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

- Definition

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT REPORTING

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes segment adjusted operating profit 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 CODM does not review disaggregated assets by segment; therefore assets by segment is not provided.

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, regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs, and gross profit by segment as follows: (in thousands) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively:

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements	Mar. 31, 2026
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	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, Credit Facility, and Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10) are classified within Level 2 of the Fair Value Measurements hierarchy. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value and fair value of our Credit Facility was $120.5 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 March 31, 2026, the carrying value of our acquisition debt was $6.2 million, which approximated its fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes was $380.3 million at March 31, 2026, based on the last traded or broker quoted price. In addition, we have an investment in a limited partnership fund, whose fair value has been estimated using the net asset value per share 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 March 31, 2026 because the investments include restrictions that do not allow for liquidation until 2027. As of March 31, 2026, we do not have an unfunded commitment for this investment. Furthermore, we have nine 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 42% 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 58% of the total alternative investment and can be liquidated with a 15-day notice period with no restrictions. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $42.2 million in unfunded commitments for these investments. 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. 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 receivables at cost. The following three-level valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs is utilized in the measurement and valuation of financial assets or liabilities as of the measurement date: •Level 1—Fair value of securities based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Our investments classified as Level 1 securities include cash, U.S. treasury debt, common stock and equity mutual funds; •Level 2—Fair value of securities estimated based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation. These inputs include interest rates, yield curves, credit risk, prepayment speeds, rating and tax-exempt status. Our investments classified as Level 2 securities include U.S. agency obligations, foreign debt, corporate debt, preferred stocks, certificates of deposit and fixed income mutual funds and other investments. •Level 3—Unobservable inputs based upon the reporting entity’s internally developed assumptions, which market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not have any assets that had fair values determined by Level 3 inputs and no liabilities measured at fair value. See Notes 8 and 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value hierarchy levels of our trust investments.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	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 (“U.S.”). Our operations are reported in two business segments: Funeral Home Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 68% of our total revenue and Cemetery Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 32% of our total revenue. At March 31, 2026, we operated 155 funeral homes in 24 states and 28 cemeteries in 9 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, 2025. 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, 2025, 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 The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale (“HFS”) in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; (2) the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; (5) the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Additionally, depreciation is not recorded during the period in which the long-lived assets, included in the disposal group, are classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items current and non-current assets held for sale and current and long-term liabilities held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Held for sale balances on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily consist of $0.5 million and $0.2 million of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, respectively, at March 31, 2026, and $0.3 million property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2025. Income Taxes Income tax expense for interim periods is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items recognized in the period incurred, such as tax return filings, tax audit settlements, statute expirations, and changes in valuation allowances. Our effective tax rate before discrete items was 28.1% and 31.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income tax expense including discrete items was $4.9 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Senior Notes

The carrying value of our 4.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) is reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025

Principal amount	$	400,000	$	400,000

Debt discount, net of accumulated amortization of $2,557 and $2,411, respectively	(1,945)		(2,089)
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $726 and $685, respectively	(550)		(592)
Carrying value of the Senior Notes	$	397,505	$	397,319

At March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Senior Notes, which are Level 2 measurements, was $380.3 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. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.

The interest expense and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs related to our Senior Notes are as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2026	2025
Senior Notes interest expense	4,250	4,250
Senior Notes amortization of debt discount	146	138

Senior Notes amortization of debt issuance costs	41	39

The debt discount and the debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining term of approximately 38 months of the Senior Notes. The effective interest rates on the unamortized debt discount and the unamortized debt issuance costs for the Senior Notes for both three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 4.42% and 4.30%, respectively.

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2026, 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 Senior Notes above) 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026.

Our Credit Facility and acquisition debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Credit Facility	$	120,500	$	126,700
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $3,387 and $3,300, respectively	(1,177)		(1,265)
Total Credit Facility	$	119,323	$	125,435

Acquisition debt	$	6,215	$	6,188
Less: current portion	(762)		(607)
Total acquisition debt, net of current portion	$	5,453	$	5,581

At March 31, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $120.5 million. We also had one letter of credit for $2.2 million under the Credit Facility. The letter of credit will expire on November 25, 2027, and is expected to automatically renew annually and secures our obligations under our various self-insured policies. At March 31, 2026, we had $127.3 million of availability under the Credit Facility.

Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a prime rate or the SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio. At March 31, 2026, the prime rate margin was equivalent to 1.13% and the SOFR term margin was 2.23%. The weighted average interest rate on our Credit Facility was 5.9% and 6.9% for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We have no material assets or operations independent of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as all of our assets and operations are held and conducted by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Additionally, we do not currently have any significant restrictions on our ability to receive dividends or loans from any Subsidiary Guarantors.

The interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Credit Facility are as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2026	2025
Credit Facility interest expense	1,987	2,499

Acquisition debt

Acquisition debt consists of deferred purchase price and promissory notes payable to sellers. A majority of the deferred purchase price and notes bear no interest and are discounted at imputed interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 8.5%. Original maturities typically range from nine to twenty years.

The imputed interest expense related to our acquisition debt is as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,

Preneed Trust Investments [Abstract]

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.
