Forward guidance

Carriage Services anticipates continued high performance driven by cemetery preneed property sales, market share gains in funeral homes, growth in average revenue per funeral contract, incremental growth of financial revenue, and higher returns on invested capital.

Tailwinds

  • Increased Cemetery Preneed Property Sales leading to higher Cemetery Revenue growth rates at Record and Sustainable Cemetery Field EBITDA Margins.
  • Continuation of local market share gains across our funeral home portfolio.
  • Growth in Average Revenue per Funeral Contract, particularly Cremation contracts.
  • Incremental Growth of Financial Revenue and Financial EBITDA.
  • Higher Returns on Invested Capital from continued disciplined capital allocation combined with a lower Cost of Capital due to the recent completion of our senior note refinancing transaction.

Headwinds

  • Uncertainties remain around the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on near term funeral contract volume.
  • Maintaining current revenue achievements will be highly challenging, especially in the fourth quarter due to peak volume spike beginning in December 2020.
  • There is a risk of potential market fluctuations.
  • A potential interruption of security lapses of information technology.
  • Failure to maintain effective control over financial reporting.
