MATTHEWS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR
FISCAL 2025 SECOND QUARTER

Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
•Consolidated sales of $427.6 million for the FY 2025 2nd Quarter
•Significant increase in customer quotes for energy storage solutions
•Cost reduction programs remain on track
•SGK transaction expected to close in early May 2025; Company provides updated projections

PITTSBURGH, PA, April 30, 2025 - Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2025.

In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2025 second quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“The Company’s results for the fiscal 2025 second quarter were generally in line with our expectations. Our consolidated sales continued to be impacted by recent challenges in our engineering (energy storage solutions) business. However, demand and interest in our energy storage solutions are regaining strength as customer quotes since early February 2025 have exceeded $100 million.

“Despite the recent headwinds, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was ahead of our expectations primarily reflecting the realization of benefits from recent cost reduction actions and improved price realization in several of our businesses. The cost reduction initiatives, which were announced last year, are progressing well and remain on track to generate cost savings above our initial estimate of $50 million.

“Following recent regulatory clearances, the SGK transaction is now expected to close in early May 2025. As we previously reported, consideration to Matthews upon closing will be $350 million upfront plus a 40% interest in the new entity. The upfront consideration includes cash of $250 million that will be primarily applied to debt reduction upon receipt. However, given the recent value of the Company’s common stock, we also now expect to utilize a portion of the proceeds for stock repurchases. The upfront consideration also includes preferred equity of $50 million. In addition, we will retain trade receivables of approximately $50 million under the Company’s securitization program, which we expect to be collected primarily within the next 90 days. We still project that the combined entity will generate synergies exceeding $50 million, which will greatly enhance the value of our 40% interest in the new entity.

“The Company’s comprehensive evaluation of strategic alternatives for our entire portfolio remains ongoing. The Board and I firmly believe the inherent value of the Company is well above current trading levels and, over the next several months, we intend to identify the appropriate path to unlock this shareholder value. Although current stock market conditions have been challenging, all alternatives are being considered as we seek to realize the true value of our businesses.

“Net debt (outstanding debt less cash) increased modestly during the fiscal 2025 second quarter. Outstanding debt as reported increased $13.0 million, while consolidated cash increased $6.7 million. However, with the pending closing of the SGK transaction, outstanding debt will decrease significantly.

“In November 2024, we projected adjusted EBITDA of at least $205 million for fiscal 2025, which contemplated the SGK Brand Solutions segment in our consolidated results for the full fiscal year. Based on an SGK transaction closing in early May 2025, our pro forma consolidated adjusted EBITDA projection for fiscal 2025 has been updated to at least $190 million. This projection assumes a pro forma projection for the remaining 5 months of fiscal 2025 for our 40% interest in the new entity. The updated projection maintains the original amount of $205 million for the year, modified only for the pro forma impact of the SGK transaction. Please note that, as a result of the integration process of the new entity and transition to its stand-alone reporting systems, we plan to report our 40% interest on a one-quarter lag. As a result, our actual reported adjusted EBITDA will differ from pro forma results during this period.”

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 March 31, 2025 were $427.6 million, compared to $471.2 million for the same quarter a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected lower sales for the Industrial Technologies and Memorialization segments, offset partially by higher sales for SGK Brand Solutions. The decrease for the Industrial Technologies segment primarily reflected lower engineering sales. The Memorialization segment decline primarily resulted from lower unit volumes of caskets, cemetery memorials, and cremation equipment, partially offset by improved price realization. Lower casketed deaths resulting from the continued normalization of death rates post-pandemic impacted the segment’s sales compared to a year ago. The sales increase for the SGK Brand Solutions segment primarily reflected an increase in brand experience sales and higher sales in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific brand markets.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $8.9 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.29 per share in the prior year. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2025 second quarter were $0.34 per share, compared to $0.69 per share a year ago. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower consolidated adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense for the current quarter compared to a year ago, and the unfavorable tax impact of non-deductible losses in Germany. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal 2025 second quarter was $51.4 million, compared to $56.8 million a year ago, primarily reflecting lower adjusted EBITDA in the Industrial Technologies and Memorialization segments.

Consolidated sales for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $829.5 million, compared to $921.2 million a year ago, representing a decrease of $91.7 million, or 10.0%. Changes in foreign currency rates were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $5.7 million on fiscal 2025 consolidated sales compared to last year.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $12.4 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to net income of $6.7 million, or $0.22 per share in the prior year. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $0.48 per share, compared to $1.06 per share a year ago. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower consolidated adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense compared to the prior year, and the unfavorable tax impact of non-deductible losses in Germany. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was $91.4 million, compared to $102.3 million a year ago, reflecting lower adjusted EBITDA in the Industrial Technologies and Memorialization segments, offset partially by lower corporate and other non-operating costs.

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.

("Tesla"), which totaled $1,757 and $2,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $8,624 and $4,972 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(5) 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.

© 2025 Matthews International Corporation. All Rights Reserved. DISCLAIMER 2 Any forward-looking statements contained in this release are included pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies of the Company regarding the future, including statements regarding the anticipated timing and benefits of the proposed joint venture transaction, and may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “seeks,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “objective,” “targets,” “potential,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “could” or the negative of these terms, other comparable terminology and variations thereof. Such forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results in future periods to be materially different from management’s expectations, and no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove correct. Factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements principally include our ability to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation of the proposed joint venture transaction on the expected timeline or at all, our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed joint venture transaction, changes in domestic or international economic conditions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, changes in the cost of materials used in the manufacture of the Company's products, including changes in costs due to adjustments to tariffs or trade wars, any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, environmental liability and limitations on the Company’s operations due to environmental laws and regulations, disruptions to certain services, such as telecommunications, network server maintenance, cloud computing or transaction processing services, provided to the Company by third-parties, changes in mortality and cremation rates, changes in product demand or pricing as a result of consolidation in the industries in which the Company operates, or other factors such as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages or labor cost increases, changes in product demand or pricing as a result of domestic or international competitive pressures, ability to achieve cost-reduction objectives, unknown risks in connection with the Company's acquisitions, divestitures, and business combinations, cybersecurity concerns and costs arising with management of cybersecurity threats, effectiveness of the Company's internal controls, compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, technological factors beyond the Company's control, impact of pandemics or similar outbreaks, or other disruptions to our industries, customers, or supply chains, the impact of global conflicts, such as the current war between Russia and Ukraine, the Company's plans and expectations with respect to its exploration, and contemplated execution, of various strategies with respect to its portfolio of businesses, the Company's plans and expectations with respect to its Board, and other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). 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, enterprise resource planning ("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. 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 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, provides investors with an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business that could not be obtained absent these disclosures. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is used by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items that do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. These items include stock-based compensation, the non-service portion of pension and postretirement expense, acquisition and divestiture costs, ERP system integration costs, and strategic initiatives and other charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes, and the effects of certain acquisition and divestiture and ERP system integration costs, and items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating operating performance. It is also useful as a financial measure for lenders and is used by the Company’s management to measure business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has presented constant currency sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA and believes these measures provide relevant and useful information, which is used by the Company's management in assessing the performance of its business on a consistent basis by removing the impact of changes due to foreign exchange translation rates. These measures allow management, as well as investors, to assess the Company’s sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis. The Company has also presented adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share and believes each measure provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts and investors, as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of its business. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain acquisition, divestiture, and system-integration costs, and items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. These measures provide management with insight into the earning value for shareholders excluding certain costs, not related to the Company’s primary operations. Likewise, these measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company’s business overall, as well as performance trends, on a consistent basis. Lastly, the Company has presented net debt and a net debt leverage ratio and believes each measure provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts and investors as well as by our management. These measures provide management with insight on the indebtedness of the Company, net of cash and cash equivalents and relative to adjusted EBITDA. These measures allow management, as well as analysts and investors, to assess the Company’s leverage.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION


 
© 2025 Matthews International Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 13 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, and 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 removes 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.

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.
