Carriage Services Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results And Revises Rolling Four Quarter Outlook
HOUSTON, July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carriage Services, Inc. (NYSE: CSV) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Mel Payne, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "After over five outstanding years of Good To Great Journey performance records, we had a relatively weak earnings performance in the second quarter of 2017, i.e. GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.24 (down 20.0% from prior year) and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.30 (down 18.9%) on record revenue of $63.9 million (up 3.2%). Adjusted Free Cash Flow also decreased $9.8 million in the first half of 2017 compared to last year. Our earnings underperformance in the second quarter was primarily related to a 460 basis point decline in our Acquisition Funeral Field EBITDA Margin to 38.0%, a continuation from the first quarter of weak same store cemetery sales and margin performance, a 16.0% increase in Total Overhead comparative quarter over quarter and a one million increase (6.0%) in the diluted share count for the second quarter calculated under our convertible subordinated debt formula because of the share price increase this year versus last.
We view specific areas of concentrated operational weakness, i.e. integration of recent funeral home acquisitions and same store cemetery sales and margins, as "glass half full" opportunities for improvement toward our goal of maximizing the long term intrinsic value of Carriage. Moreover, we have taken the opportunity to selectively increase our investment in quality people within our Corporate Development, Operational Support and Information Technology teams in order to support what we believe will be an increased level of industry consolidation over the next five years. These specific people investments combined with higher than expected severance and public company costs led to the $1.2 million increase in Total Overhead Expenses in the second quarter of this year versus last.
As part of Carriage's continued evolution, we previously made the commitment to only report Non-GAAP items if they were truly 'non-recurring.' This reporting change has decreased our year to date 2017 Adjusted Diluted EPS by $0.05 compared to the first half of 2016. The increase in our diluted share count has also negatively impacted our 2017 Adjusted Diluted EPS by $0.05.
We are only two quarters into the second five year timeframe of our Good To Great Journey and have the view that the next five to ten years will produce performance trends that confirm the superiority of Carriage's High Performance Culture Framework as an operating, consolidating and value creation platform for the funeral and cemetery industries.
Second quarter highlights are shown below:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

The performance of our preneed trust fund portfolio in the second quarter was in line with our expectations and reflected no change in our overall portfolio strategy.
ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW
We produced Adjusted Free Cash Flow from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 of $9.2 million and $15.5 million, respectively, compared to Adjusted Free Cash Flow from operations of $13.2 million and $25.4 million for the corresponding periods in 2016. The year over year decrease in Adjusted Free Cash Flow was due to weak operating performance, the reduction of Non-GAAP "cash items" and timing of maintenance capital expenditures and federal tax payments during the first half of the year.

ROLLING FOUR QUARTER OUTLOOK
The Rolling Four Quarter Outlook ("Outlook") reflects management's opinion on the performance of the portfolio of existing businesses, including performance of existing trusts, and excludes size and timing of acquisitions for the Rolling Four Quarter Outlook period ending June 30, 2018 unless we have a signed Letter of Intent and high likelihood of a closing within 90 days. This Outlook is not intended to be management estimates or forecasts of our future performance, as we believe precise estimates will be precisely wrong all the time. Rather our intent and goal is to reflect a "roughly right range" most of the time of future Rolling Four Quarter Outlook performance as we execute our Standards Operating, Strategic Acquisition and 4E Leadership Models over time.
Similarly, we self-publish a Company and Investment Profile, available on our website, that includes a Five Year "Roughly Right Scenario" of our future performance which together with our Five Year Trend Report provides investors a ten year past and future profile of our financial value creation dynamics and condition, making it easier to judge whether our "trends will continue to be the friend" of long term investors.
In light of current operating trends and increased Overhead expenses, we are lowering our Rolling Four Quarter Outlook of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share by $0.08 to a range of $1.65 - $1.69 for the period ending June 30, 2018.
ROLLING FOUR QUARTER OUTLOOK – Period Ending June 30, 2018
Range (in millions, except per share amounts) | ||
Revenues | $262 - $266 | |
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA | $77 - $81 | |
Adjusted Net Income | $29 - $31 | |
Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share | $1.76 - $1.80 | |
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share(1) | $1.65 - $1.69 |
Factors affecting our analysis include, among others, funeral contract volumes, average revenue per funeral service, cemetery interment volumes, preneed cemetery sales, capital expenditures, execution of our funeral and cemetery Standards Operating Model, market volatility and changes in Federal Reserve monetary policy. Revenues, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the four quarter period ending June 30, 2018 are expected to improve relative to the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2017 due to increases in our existing Funeral Home and Cemetery operating portfolio.
(1) | The Rolling Four Quarter Outlook on Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share does not include any changes to our fully diluted share count that could occur related to additional share repurchases or a stock price increase and EPS dilution calculations related to our convertible subordinated notes and outstanding and exercisable stock options. |

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. We believe the Non-GAAP results are useful to investors because such results help investors compare our results to previous periods and provide insights into underlying trends in our business. The Company's GAAP financial statements accompany this release. Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are provided in this press release.
The Non-GAAP financial measures include "Special Items", "Adjusted Net Income", "Consolidated EBITDA", "Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA", "Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA Margin", "Adjusted Free Cash Flow", "Funeral, Cemetery and Financial EBITDA", "Total Field EBITDA", "Total Field EBITDA Margin", "Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share" and "Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share" in this press release. These financial measurements are defined as similar GAAP items adjusted for Special Items and are reconciled to GAAP in this press release. In addition, the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in other companies' reports. The definitions used by the Company for our internal management purposes and in this press release are as follows:
- Special Items are defined as charges or credits included in our GAAP financial statements that can vary from period to period and are not reflective of costs incurred in the ordinary course of our operations. Special Items are taxed at the federal statutory rate of 35 percent for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, except for the accretion of the discount on the Convertible Notes as this is a non-tax deductible item.
- Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income plus adjustments for Special Items and other non-recurring expenses or credits.
- Consolidated EBITDA is defined as net income before income taxes, interest expenses, non-cash stock compensation, depreciation and amortization, and interest income and other, net.
- Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is defined as Consolidated EBITDA plus adjustments for Special Items and non-recurring expenses or credits.
- Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operations, adjusted by Special Items as deemed necessary, less cash for maintenance capital expenditures.
- Funeral Field EBITDA is defined as Funeral Gross Profit, which is funeral revenue minus funeral field costs and expenses, less depreciation and amortization, regional and unallocated funeral costs and Funeral Financial EBITDA.
- Cemetery Field EBITDA is defined as Cemetery Gross Profit, which is cemetery revenue minus cemetery field costs and expenses, less depreciation and amortization, regional and unallocated cemetery costs and Cemetery Financial EBITDA.
- Funeral Financial EBITDA is defined as Funeral Financial Revenue less Funeral Financial Expenses.
- Cemetery Financial EBITDA is defined as Cemetery Financial Revenue less Cemetery Financial Expenses.
- Total Field EBITDA is defined as Gross Profit less depreciation and amortization, regional and unallocated funeral and cemetery costs.
- Total Field EBITDA Margin is defined as Total Field EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
- Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share is defined as GAAP Basic Earnings Per Share, adjusted for Special Items.
- Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is defined as GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share, adjusted for Special Items.

On page three of this press release, we present the Rolling Four Quarter Outlook ("Outlook") which reflects management's opinion on the performance of the portfolio of existing businesses, including performance of existing trusts, and excludes size and timing of acquisitions for the Rolling Four Quarter Outlook period ending June 30, 2018 unless we have a signed Letter of Intent and high likelihood of a closing within 90 days. This Outlook is not intended to be management estimates or forecasts of our future performance, as we believe precise estimates will be precisely wrong all the time. The following four reconciliations are presented at the midpoint of the range in this Outlook.

Funeral homes and cemeteries purchased after December 31, 2012 are referred to as "Acquired" in our Trend Report. This classification of acquisitions has been important to management and investors in monitoring the results of these businesses and to gauge the leveraging performance contribution that a selective acquisition program can have on total company performance.
