Matthews International Reports Results for Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter

Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Financial Highlights: GAAP Earnings per share of $0.49 vs. $0.06 a year agoMemorialization and Industrial Technologies report higher adjusted EBITDAOutstanding debt reduced by $120 millionCompany realizing benefits of cost reduction actionsStrategic alternatives evaluation progressing wellCompany maintains outlook for fiscal 2025Webcast: Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 9:00 a.m., (201) 689-8471 PITTSBURGH, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2025. In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2025 third quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We were pleased with our operating results for the fiscal 2025 third quarter. The Company reported earnings per share on a GAAP basis of $0.49 per share for the current quarter compared to $0.06 a year ago. We realized a gain on the divestiture of the SGK business. Additionally, the Memorialization and Industrial Technologies segments each reported higher adjusted EBITDA compared to a year ago while we continued to lower our corporate and other non-operating costs. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share was $0.28 for the current quarter. “We are realizing the benefits of the cost reduction actions that we initiated last year. These initiatives were a key contributor to our year-over-year improvement in the Industrial Technologies segment, particularly in our engineering business which continues to be challenged by the impact of the meritless litigation with Tesla. These initiatives were also a key driver to the reduction in corporate and non-operating costs. Year-to-date, we have reduced corporate and other non-operating costs by 11.4%, or $4.9 million, compared to a year ago, and expect further reductions into next fiscal year as a result of the SGK divestiture. “Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2025 third quarter were higher than a year ago primarily reflecting the recent acquisition of The Dodge Company. We expect this acquisition to be nicely accretive to earnings as we leverage the benefits of our Memorialization commercial platform and we have already begun to realize synergies from integration. Sales volumes for caskets and cemetery memorials were modestly lower for the quarter primarily reflecting lower U.S. casketed deaths and the prior year sales benefit of granite backlog reductions. However, the earnings impact of these declines were offset by inflationary price realization and benefits from the segment’s ongoing productivity initiatives, which were significant factors in the segment’s improved operating margins. “The Industrial Technologies segment reported a modest decline in sales for the fiscal 2025 third quarter. The decrease mainly resulted from lower engineering sales primarily reflecting the unfavorable consequences of the ongoing Tesla dispute, which impacted customer order rates and willingness to do business with us. However, since the favorable ruling in February 2025, outstanding quotes are now over $150 million and continuing to grow. The quotes are beginning to convert to orders at a modest level and expected to further increase by the end of this calendar year. Sales for the segment’s warehouse automation business were higher for the current quarter as order rates and backlog continued to improve, reflecting the ongoing recovery in this market. “During the fiscal 2025 third quarter, we reduced consolidated outstanding debt by $120 million. The reduction primarily reflected the proceeds from the SGK divestiture, offset partly by the acquisition of The Dodge Company, settlement of currency hedges in connection with SGK-related assets, and SGK transaction-related costs. Based on our current operating cash flow projections and the potential sale of our European packaging business, we expect further debt reduction in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter. “Regarding the integration of the SGK business with SGS, the new company, Propelis Group (“Propelis”), has indicated solid operating results since the May 1, 2025 closing date and has recently increased its projected cost synergy estimates to approximately $60 million. “Our strategic alternatives evaluation is progressing well. The Board, with the support of J.P. Morgan, has identified several alternatives for further evaluation and consideration toward improving shareholder value and better alignment with the underlying value of the organization. We expect to complete this evaluation over the next several months and will provide an update to our shareholders at that time. “Lastly, based on our results through June 30, 2025 and our fourth quarter projections, we are maintaining our previous earnings guidance of adjusted EBITDA of at least $190 million (which includes our estimated 40% share of Propelis adjusted EBITDA from May 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025) for fiscal 2025.” Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Consolidated Results (Unaudited) ($ in millions, except per share data)Q3 FY2025 Q3 FY2024 Change % Change Sales$349.4 $427.8 $(78.4) (18.3)%Net income attributable to Matthews$15.4 $1.8 $13.6 NM Diluted earnings per share$0.49 $0.06 $0.43 NM Non-GAAP adjusted net income$9.2 $17.3 $(8.1) (46.9)% Non-GAAP adjusted EPS$0.28 $0.56 $(0.28) (50.0)% Adjusted EBITDA$44.6 $44.7 $(0.2) (0.4)% Note: See the attached tables for additional important disclosures regarding Matthews’ use of non-GAAP measures as well as reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to corresponding GAAP measures. Consolidated sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $349.4 million, compared to $427.8 million for the same quarter a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected the divestiture of SGK on May 1, 2025. The consolidated sales impact of the SGK divestiture was $80.2 million for the current quarter. Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment were lower for the quarter, offset partially by higher sales for the Memorialization segment. SGK also reported sales growth for the current quarter prior to its divestiture. Net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $15.4 million, or $0.49 per share, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.06 per share in the prior year. The gain on the divestiture of SGK (net of transaction-related costs) was the most significant factor in the increase. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2025 third quarter were $0.28 per share, compared to $0.56 per share a year ago. These results do not reflect our 40% interest in the results of Propelis (see "Divestiture of the SGK Business" below). Although adjusted EBITDA was relatively consistent with the same quarter a year ago, interest expense increased primarily reflecting the higher rate on the new bonds compared to the previous bonds. Also, the third quarter last year benefited from significant discrete tax benefits which did not repeat in the current quarter. Divestiture of the SGK Business On May 1, 2025, the Company contributed the SGK business to a newly-formed entity, Propelis, in exchange for 40% of the common equity of Propelis, a $50 million preferred equity investment in Propelis, and cash proceeds of $250 million ($228 million net of divested cash). The consolidated financial information presented in this release reflects the financial results of the SGK business through the closing date. Please note that, as a result of the integration process of Propelis and transition to its stand-alone reporting systems, our 40% portion of the financial results of Propelis will be reported on a one-quarter lag. As a result, the consolidated financial information presented in this release does not include our 40% interest in the financial results of Propelis for May and June 2025. Based on preliminary financial projections provided by Propelis, their current estimate of adjusted EBITDA for May and June 2025 was $16.8 million. Please note that these projections are unaudited and subject to review and, as a result, may change. Our 40% portion of this amount would be $6.7 million. Accordingly, with the addition of our 40% interest in Propelis, the Company’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal 2025 third quarter would be $51.3 million, compared to $44.7 million a year ago, representing an increase of 14.6%.

Consolidated sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.18 billion, compared to $1.35 billion a year ago, representing a decrease of $170.2 million, or 12.6%. The decrease primarily reflected the divestiture of SGK on May 1, 2025 and lower sales for the Industrial Technologies segment. Memorialization segment sales were also lower for the year, which was offset partially by higher sales for SGK pre-divestiture. The consolidated sales impact of the SGK divestiture was $80.2 million for the current year. Net income attributable to the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.27 per share in the prior year. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 were $0.76 per share, compared to $1.62 per share a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 was $136.0 million, compared to $147.0 million a year ago.

The Company defines net debt leverage ratio as outstanding debt (net of cash) relative to adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing its performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations including acquisition and divestiture costs, ERP system integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to certain commercial and operational initiatives and exit activities), stock-based compensation and the non-service portion of pension and postretirement expense. Constant currency sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA remove the impact of changes due to foreign exchange translation rates. To calculate sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, amounts for periods in the current fiscal year are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates applicable to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. Management believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's core operations, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company's calculations of its non-GAAP financial measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provided herein, provide investors with an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business that could not be obtained absent these disclosures.

Fiscal 2025 includes net gains on the sales of certain significant property and other assets of$8,655for theninemonths endedJune 30, 2025.

These benefit cost components are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they are primarily influenced by external market conditions that impact investment returns and interest (discount) rates. Curtailment gains and losses and settlement gains and losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits or settlements of plan obligations. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. Please note that GAAP pension and postretirement expense or the adjustment above are not necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to these employee benefit plans. * Depreciation and amortization was $7,394 and $7,073 for the Memorialization segment, $5,489 and $5,796 for the Industrial Technologies segment, $2,357 and $9,702 for the Brand Solutions segment, and $596 and $1,086 for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

These benefit cost components are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they are primarily influenced by external market conditions that impact investment returns and interest (discount) rates. Curtailment gains and losses and settlement gains and losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits or settlements of plan obligations. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. Please note that GAAP pension and postretirement expense or the adjustment above are not necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to these employee benefit plans.(5)Represents tax-related items incurred in connection with assets the Company previously wrote off in Russia.
