6 Differentiation in Stable Funeral & Cemetery Industry • Carriage’s success has and will continue to be defined by three strategic models: • Standards Operating Model • Focuses on growing market share and employing high performance people which together drive long term operating and financial performance • Designed to achieve modest same store revenue growth and strong and sustainable Field EBITDA Margins at the local business level • Designed to have the Managing Partner and staff share in Field EBITDA growth 6 • Strategic Acquisition Model • Disciplined acquisition in selected markets • 4E Leadership Model • Energy, Energize, Edge, Execution • Standards Operating Model requires strong leadership to grow an entrepreneurial, high value, local personal service and sales business • 4E Leaders have a winning, competitive spirit and want to make a difference not only in their business and community but in Carriage’s performance and reputation Standards Operating Model


 
7 Our Growth Strategy • Adopt a pro-growth business model within an industry that is characterized by its low growth, low technology, and stable earnings • Modest growth in sales of our base businesses resulting in improved margins • Relatively fixed regional and corporate overhead allows for modest increases in Same Store Sales and EBITDA to have greater impact on Free Cash Flow • Make targeted and strategic acquisitions to accelerate growth while maintaining financial discipline • A majority of acquired Field EBITDA falls to Consolidated EBITDA due to operating leverage


 
8 Disciplined and Targeted Acquisition Strategy 8 • Our Goal is to acquire $15-$16 million new annual revenue through acquisitions • Target leading performers with strong heritage in their local markets • Comprehensive analysis of a candidate’s financial profile and market demographics • Focus on markets that perform better than the industry average and are generally insulated from economic and demographic changes • Only consider businesses that will provide an immediate positive impact on cash flow • Concentrate on higher revenue, higher margin, accretive businesses • Exercise Financial Discipline through Valuation Model • Maintain a stable and predictable business model • Sustain EBITDA growth in line with revenue growth from acquisitions Recent Acquisitions at a Glance DATE NAME 5/15/2014 Everly Community Funeral Care (Falls Church, VA) 5/15/2014 Everly Wheatley Funeral Home (Alexandria, VA.) 5/15/2014 Garden of Memories (Metairie, LA) 5/15/2014 Garden of Memories Funeral Home (Metairie, LA) 5/15/2014 Greenwood Funeral Home (New Orleans, LA) 5/15/2014 Shoen Funeral Home (New Orleans, LA) 5/15/2014 Tharp-Sontheimer-Tharp Funeral Home (Metairie, LA) 11/19/2013 Heritage Funeral Homes & Cremation Servces (Chattanooga, TN) 11/19/2013 Heritage Funeral Homes & Crematory (Ft.

18 The forward looking slides are solely intended to demonstrate the possible impact on our financial results of the successful implementation of our growth strategy by the hypothetical acquisition of businesses aggregating (i) $26 million in assets in 2014 (in addition to the successful integration of the businesses acquired in the SCI transaction) and (ii) $40 million in assets per year for each of the next four years. The model presented on these slides incorporates several assumptions regarding the pricing, timing and terms and conditions of such acquisitions. The model also incorporates several assumptions regarding the financial performance of both acquisition and same store businesses, including assumptions related to the revenues, expenses and cash flows of such businesses, as well as the capital structure of the company. We can provide no assurances that our growth strategy will be successfully implemented or that the SCI businesses will be successfully integrated. In particular, we can provide no assurances that we will find attractive acquisition targets, that we will succeed in negotiating the terms and conditions reflected in the model, or that we will execute any acquisitions during the next five years (including 2014). Additionally, we can provide no assurances that our acquisition and same store businesses will generate the revenue or earnings growth reflected in the model, or any revenue or earnings growth at all.
