BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<div style="margin-top:12pt">The Company</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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 66% of our total revenue, and Cemetery Operations, which currently accounts for approximately 34% of our total revenue. At September 30, 2026, we operated 155 funeral homes in 24 states and 28 cemeteries in 9 states. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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.</div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify">Principles of Consolidation and Interim Condensed Disclosures</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to the current period disclosure presentation with no effect on our consolidated net income, cash flows, or equity. </div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify">Use of Estimates</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">The preparation of our Condensed 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 estimates 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 that the margins, operating income and net earnings, as a percentage of revenue, will be consistent from period to period.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:9pt;text-align:justify">Cash and Cash Equivalents </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.</div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify">Inventory</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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.</div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify">Divestitures</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we sold one funeral home and one real estate property for an aggregate of $1.0 million. We also recorded an impairment of $0.3 million related to the sale of the funeral home. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a loss of $48.0 thousand in Net (gain) loss on divestitures and impairment charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold seven funeral homes and one cemetery for an aggregate of $18.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold nine funeral homes and four cemeteries for an aggregate of $33.8 million and merged one funeral home with another business we own in an existing market.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:9pt;text-align:justify">Income Taxes</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">Income tax expense was $3.7 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $13.5 million and $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our operating tax rate before discrete items was 28.4% and 35.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 28.4% and 32.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify">Subsequent Events</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">On October 4, 2026, the Company terminated its Equity Distribution Agreement dated May 6, 2026 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), by and between the Company, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer & Co.”) and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James” and together with Oppenheimer & Co., the “Sales Agents”). As previously reported, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company could sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million in “at-the-market” offerings through or to the Sales Agents (the “ATM Program”). The Company is not subject to any termination penalties related to the termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement. Prior to the termination, the Company had not sold any shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program.</div>

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 do not expect the adoption to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, it will require additional disclosures regarding the disaggregation of income statement expenses.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Internal-Use Software</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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 consolidated financial statements.</div>

SEGMENT REPORTING<div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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 are not provided.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">The tables below present

GOODWILL<div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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. For our 2026 annual qualitative assessment, we determined that there were no factors indicating that a quantitative goodwill impairment test was required. We concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting units is greater than their carrying value and thus there was no impairment to goodwill.</div><div

As a result, the Company reassessed its reporting unit structure under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other and determined that certain reporting units within the funeral home segment no longer met the criteria to be considered separate reporting units. Accordingly, the Company combined these reporting units into a single reporting unit. This change did not affect the Company’s operating segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. In connection with the change in reporting unit structure, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the combined reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, no quantitative impairment test was required, and no goodwill impairment charge was recognized.</div>

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS<div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">At September 30, 2026, the carrying value and fair value of our Credit Facility were $114.8 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 September 30, 2026, the carrying value of our acquisition debt was $6.0 million, which approximated its fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes was $371.9 million at September 30, 2026, based on the last traded or broker quoted price. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">In addition, we have an investment in a limited partnership fund, whose fair value has been estimated using the net asset value ("NAV") 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 September 30, 2026 because the investments include restrictions that do not allow for liquidation until 2027. As of September 30, 2026, we do not have an unfunded commitment for this investment.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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 38% 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 62% of the total alternative investment and can be liquidated with a 15-day notice period with no restrictions. As of September 30, 2026, we had approximately $22.2 million in unfunded commitments for these investments.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">We identified investments in fixed income securities, common stock, and mutual funds presented within the preneed and perpetual care trust investments categories on our Condensed 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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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:</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:67.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-36pt">•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;</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:67.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-36pt">•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.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;padding-left:67.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-36pt">•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 September 30, 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.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">See Notes 8 and 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value hierarchy levels of our trust investments.</div>

TRUST INVESTMENTS<div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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 Condensed 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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">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.</div><div style="margin-top:12pt">Preneed Cemetery Trust

At closing, we borrowed $114.7 million under the new facility. The proceeds were used to repay $113.0 million of principal outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility, settle related accrued interest and facility fees, and fund costs of the refinancing.

The Credit Facility includes provisions that require us and certain subsidiaries, upon the occurrence of an event of default or in the event the Company’s actual Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) for two consecutive fiscal quarters is not at least 0.50 less than the Required Total Leverage Ratio (defined below), to grant additional liens on real property assets accounting for no less than 50% of our and certain subsidiaries’ funeral operations.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.5pt">Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (b) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus the Applicable Rate.
