Carriage Services reported modestly higher results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total revenue rose to $102.9 million, driven by strong pricing and financial revenue, despite lower volumes tied to softer national mortality trends. GAAP net income increased to $12.3 million with diluted EPS of $0.77, while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.78.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first half was $22.5 million. Carriage updated its 2026 outlook, trimming total revenue guidance to $435–$445 million but reaffirming adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $135–$140 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.35–$3.55, while reducing expected capital expenditures to $20–$25 million.
