PITTSBURGH, PA, January 27, 2022 - Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2022.
In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2022 first quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“We generated strong sales growth for the fiscal 2022 first quarter, with all segments contributing to our year-over-year improvement. Our higher growth businesses within the Industrial Technologies segment continued to perform well, particularly energy solutions and warehouse automation. Our Memorialization businesses also reported another quarter of revenue growth across all of its main product lines. In addition, despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, our SGK Brand Solutions segment also reported higher sales.
“Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment for the current quarter were $74.3 million, compared to $53.4 million a year ago, representing an increase of $20.9 million, or 39.1%. The increase resulted from higher engineering (principally energy solutions) sales and an increase in warehouse automation sales. Product identification sales were also higher than the same quarter last year. Order rates across these businesses continued to remain strong.
“Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2022 first quarter were $210.7 million, compared to $183.3 million for the same quarter a year ago, representing an increase of $27.4 million, or 15.0%. The increase was mainly the result of higher sales of caskets and cemetery memorials, primarily driven by COVID-19. Improved price realization and increases in sales of cremation equipment and mausoleum projects also contributed to the segment’s sales improvement.
“The SGK Brand Solutions segment sales increased to $153.5 million for the current quarter, compared to $150.0 million a year ago. The segment’s retail-based sales were higher than a year ago reflecting

continued recovery from the impacts of the pandemic. In addition, brand packaging sales were also higher for the quarter, albeit at lower margins.
"During the fiscal 2022 first quarter, we completed the funding toward the termination of the Company’s principal U.S. retirement plan. Although this funding contributed to an increase in our outstanding debt during the quarter, we significantly reduced the Company’s accrued pension liabilities. We expect this debt increase to be temporary as we continue to focus on debt reduction this fiscal year.”

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. Organic sales represent changes in sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Consolidated sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were $438.6 million, compared to $386.7 million for the same quarter a year ago, representing an increase of $51.9 million, or 13.4%. The increase reflected higher sales in all three of the Company's segments. Changes in foreign currency rates were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $4.1 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $19.8 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.06 per share in the prior year. The current quarter reflected a pension settlement loss in connection with the terminations of certain of the Company’s retirement plans. In addition, both periods reflect the impact of intangible amortization expense.
On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2022 first quarter were $0.74 per share, compared to $0.68 per share a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments) for the fiscal 2022 first quarter was $53.3 million, compared to $54.8 million a year ago, representing a decrease of $1.5 million. The benefits of the increase in consolidated sales and ongoing cost reduction efforts were offset by the impacts of significant material (commodity) cost increases, higher labor costs, and other inflationary cost increases.
Outlook
Mr. Bartolacci further stated: “Each of our segments are continuing to build on their respective trends of revenue growth. As we reported previously, sales for our energy solutions business, which supports the electric vehicle market, grew significantly in fiscal 2021 and, based on current backlogs, are expected to significantly grow again in fiscal 2022. In addition, order rates and backlogs in the warehouse and product identification businesses within the Industrial Technologies segment remain strong. Also, market conditions and pricing trends for the SGK Brand Solutions segment appear to be more stable recently.
“With respect to our Memorialization segment, sales for the remainder of the fiscal year will be highly dependent on COVID trends. In addition, the segment’s adjusted EBITDA will remain challenged by the significant increases in material and labor costs. However, we are implementing new pricing actions and taking additional cost reduction measures to further mitigate these impacts.

“Accordingly, in consideration of our recent sales trends and these additional cost mitigation efforts, we currently expect consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be at least $220 million for fiscal 2022.”

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, 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 costs, ERP integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to 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'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.

(1) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition activities, costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts, and certain non-recurring costs associated with productivity and cost-reduction initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels.
(2) Includes certain non-recurring direct incremental costs (such as costs for purchases of computer peripherals and devices to facilitate working-from-home, additional personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies and services, etc.) incurred in response to COVID-19. This amount does not include the impact of any lost sales or underutilization due to COVID-19.

(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.
