AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · CARRIAGE SERVICES INC (CSV)

Carriage Services closes $300 million credit facility and ends $100 million ATM program

Positive Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Carriage Services entered a five-year, $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility led by JPMorgan Chase, which replaces its $250 million facility, and terminated its $100 million at-the-market equity offering program effective October 4, 2026. The company says the new facility lowers borrowing costs and adds liquidity, and that it is lowering its targeted leverage range to 3.0x–3.5x. The facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all company and subsidiary guarantor assets.

Key points

  • Revolving credit facility of up to $300 million, with an optional $100 million accordion feature that no lender is obligated to fund
  • Replaces the $250 million facility from May 2021; the company says the new facility expands capacity and reduces borrowing spreads
  • $100 million at-the-market equity program terminated effective October 4, 2026
  • Targeted leverage ratio lowered from 3.5x–4.0x to 3.0x–3.5x; $400 million of 4.25% Senior Notes mature in May 2029
