ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

In the press release dated November 1, 2012 Carriage Services, Inc. (“the Company”) announced and commented on its financial results for its quarter ended September 30, 2012. A copy of the press release issued by the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by this reference. The information being furnished under Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits, including the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that Section.

The Company’s press release dated November 1, 2012 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided quantitative reconciliations within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

The 8-K filed on November 2, 2012, furnished a press release in which the Reconciliation of Diluted EPS from continuing operations to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 on page 12 of the release has been revised. The effect of $0.10 for the loss on the extinguishment of debt and other costs was presented separately for the three months ended September 30, 2012 but was not presented separately and was combined with other special items for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The table on page 12 now presents the special items combined as also presented in the Reconciliation of Net Income for both periods stated. No other amendments are being made to the 8-K. The attached exhibit 99.1 presented here in has been corrected.
