PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026.

In discussing the results for the Company's fiscal 2026 third quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"The fiscal 2026 third quarter was a challenging quarter for us across all business segments. We continue to experience delays in the energy storage solutions business which are expected to extend through the balance of the fiscal year. Despite winning a significant new coating & converting order this quarter, the project has not contributed significantly to our financial results as of yet. In response to these challenges, we have taken difficult but necessary action to reduce the cost base of this business by $10 million annually. Additionally, our flagship Memorialization businesses continue to experience headwinds in terms of lower volumes combined with input costs escalating beyond inflationary price increases. Lastly, while the anticipated synergy benefits at The Propelis Group ("Propelis") are now beginning to scale, our expectations of the timing to realize those synergies has not been achieved, resulting in an estimated $5 million shortfall to our full year forecast. Due to these combination of factors, we are reducing our previous earnings guidance for adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $158 million to $162 million (which includes our estimated 40% share of Propelis adjusted EBITDA) for fiscal 2026."

"Despite the near-term challenges for the remainder of this fiscal year, we remain focused on driving shareholder value, including properly aligning our cost structure with the future state of our operations. Our GAAP earnings continue to be impacted by the costs associated with these efforts, however our corporate and other non-operating costs have yielded savings compared to last year, positively impacting our margins. We continue to execute on further cost reductions to scale our structure as post-divestiture support obligations are expected to expire over the balance of the calendar year."

"Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2026 third quarter were higher than a year ago primarily reflecting the recent acquisition of The Dodge Company. This acquisition continues to be nicely accretive to earnings as we leverage the benefits of our Memorialization commercial platform and have already realized the majority of targeted cost synergies. Sales volumes of caskets and cemetery memorials continued to be a headwind in the quarter due to lower estimated U.S. casketed deaths, which was compounded by escalating input costs. Inflationary price realization only partially offset the impact of these factors on our profitability for the quarter."

"The Industrial Technologies segment reported a decline in sales for the fiscal 2026 third quarter. The decrease mainly resulted from the divestiture of the warehouse automation business during the fiscal first quarter of 2026 and challenges in our engineering business, including the impacts of the ongoing Tesla dispute. During the third quarter, we initiated a restructuring program in our European engineering operations that will yield $10 million annual cost savings. We expect the total cost to achieve related to this restructuring to be approximately $10 million, of which approximately $5 million impacted third quarter results. Despite these difficult actions, we continue to focus on the long-term potential of dry electrode battery manufacturing as evidenced by launching MEODEO™, a next-generation, full-scale mass production demonstration line for dry-electrode battery manufacturing at our development center in Vreden, Germany. This facility offers our customers expanded testing capabilities from laboratory scale up to industrial gigafactory production. Our Product Identification business continues to receive significant customer interest in the MPERIA® Axian Inkjet (XIJ) systems and we are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Linx Printing Technologies designed to broaden customer access to each company's product portfolio in key markets, opening the opportunity for our products to reach consumer packaged goods customers in the UK and France.

"Results for Propelis have shown considerable margin improvement from the first calendar quarter to the second. The joint venture remains on track to deliver a significant portion of the estimated $60 million of identified synergy opportunities over the coming quarters. Additionally, Propelis redeemed a portion of their shareholders' interests in the third quarter, which provided $25 million of cash to Matthews that was used primarily to bring down our debt balance."

"Over the last two years, the Board, with the support of J.P. Morgan, identified several alternatives for evaluation and consideration toward improving shareholder value and better alignment with the underlying value of the organization. The divestitures of SGK in 2025, and the warehouse automation and European packaging businesses in the first quarter of 2026 are all outcomes of this effort to simplify Matthews' business structure and enhance shareholder value. The Company's strategic alternatives review remains ongoing with a heavy focus on developing strategic partnerships for our Industrial Technologies businesses."

Divestiture of the SGK Business

The fiscal 2025 consolidated financial information presented in this release reflects the financial results of the SGK business through the closing date. 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 is reported on a one-quarter lag. Consequently, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from January 2026 through March 2026. For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from July 2025 through March 2026.

The Company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 includes approximately a $10.0 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary estimates of adjusted EBITDA provided by Propelis for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, our 40% portion of their adjusted EBITDA would be $12.7 million. The Company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal nine months ended June 30, 2026 includes a $32.4 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary financial estimates of adjusted EBITDA provided by Propelis for the period October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, our 40% portion of their adjusted EBITDA would be $32.2 million. Please note that these projections are unaudited and subject to review and, as a result, may change.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP, including, without limitation, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and EPS, constant currency sales, constant currency adjusted EBITDA, net debt and net debt leverage ratio. 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.

⁽²⁾Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $380 and $974 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $1,430 and $3,291 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.

⁽⁴⁾ Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives, and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Also includes litigation costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, Inc. ("Tesla"), which totaled $7,772 and $5,795 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $18,944 and $14,419 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

⁽⁵⁾ Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to certain Turkish subsidiaries which were recently divested.

⁽⁶⁾ Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, curtailment gains and losses, and settlement gains and losses. 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.

		⁽¹⁾Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
		⁽²⁾ Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives, and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Also includes litigation costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, Inc. ("Tesla"), which totaled $7,772 and $5,795 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $18,944 and $14,419 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Fiscal 2025 includes net gains on the sales of certain significant property and other assets of $8,655 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. Fiscal 2025 also includes loss recoveries totaling $538 for the three months ending June 30, 2025 and $1,708 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 which were related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
		⁽³⁾Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to certain Turkish subsidiaries which were recently divested.
		⁽⁴⁾ Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, curtailment gains and losses, and settlement gains and losses. 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 the Company's portion of amortization and other items incurred by Propelis.
		⁽⁶⁾ Represents tax-related items incurred in connection with assets the Company previously wrote off in Russia.
