Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information for commercial and industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022. The consolidated financial statements include all domestic and foreign subsidiaries in which the Company maintains an ownership interest and has operating control and any variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in certain companies over which the Company exerts significant influence, but does not control the financial and operating decisions, are accounted for as equity method investments. Investments in certain companies over which the Company does not exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company applies highly inflationary accounting for subsidiaries when the cumulative inflation rate for a three-year period meets or exceeds 100 percent.
Effective April 1, 2022, the Company applies highly inflationary accounting to its Turkish subsidiaries. Under highly inflationary accounting, the financial statements of these subsidiaries are remeasured into the Company's reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, until such time as the applicable economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had net monetary assets related to its Turkish subsidiaries of $5,387 and $5,022, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, exchange losses related to highly inflationary accounting totaled $1,826 and $3,074, respectively, and were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income within other income (deductions), net. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, exchange losses related to highly inflationary accounting totaled $1,245 and were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income within other income (deductions), net.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
Issued
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) which improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract asset/liability, and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in interim periods starting in fiscal 2024. While the impact of this ASU is dependent on the nature of any future transactions, the Company currently does not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by addressing disclosure requirements. Specifically, the amendment requires disclosure of key program terms, amounts outstanding, balance sheet presentation, and a rollforward of amounts outstanding during the annual period. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective in fiscal year 2025. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:

| Level 1: | Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

| June 30, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total

Note 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements
Long-term debt at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 consisted of the following:

| June 30, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
Revolving credit facilities | $ | 452,691 |  |  | $ | 480,107 |
2025 Senior Notes | 298,365 |  |  | 297,961 |

Less current maturities | (2,941) |  |  | (3,277) |
Long-term debt | $ | 772,056 |  |  | $ | 795,291 |

The Company has a domestic credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that includes a $750,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, which matures in March 2025. A portion of the revolving credit facility (not to exceed $350,000) can be drawn in foreign currencies. In March 2023, an amendment to the domestic credit facility implemented SOFR as the replacement of LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate under the facility. The Company accounted for the change in reference rate as a non-substantial modification. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility now bear interest at SOFR, plus a 0.10% per annum rate spread adjustment, plus a factor ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% (1.25% at June 30, 2023) based on the Company's secured leverage ratio. Previously, borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus a factor ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Company's secured leverage ratio. The secured leverage ratio is defined as net secured indebtedness divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) as defined within the domestic credit facility agreement. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% (based on the Company's leverage ratio) of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Company incurred debt issuance costs in connection with the domestic credit facility. Unamortized costs were $1,065 and $1,522 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements (continued)
The domestic credit facility requires the Company to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. A portion of the facility (not to exceed $55,000) is available for the issuance of trade and standby letters of credit. Outstanding U.S. dollar denominated borrowings on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $450,329 and $472,057, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings for the domestic credit facility (including the effects of interest rate swaps) at June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 5.59% and 1.92%, respectively.
The Company has $299,625 of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due December 1, 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes"). The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company's obligations under the 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is subject to certain covenants and other restrictions in connection with the 2025 Senior Notes. The Company incurred direct financing fees and costs in connection with the 2025 Senior Notes. Unamortized costs were $1,260 and $1,664 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries sell, on a continuous basis without recourse, their trade receivables to Matthews Receivables Funding Corporation, LLC (“Matthews RFC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. In March 2022, Matthews RFC entered into a receivables purchase agreement (“RPA”) to sell up to $125,000 of receivables to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) on a recurring basis in exchange for cash (referred to as “capital” within the RPA) equal to the gross receivables transferred. The parties intend that the transfers of receivables to the Purchasers constitute purchases and sales of receivables. Matthews RFC has guaranteed to each Purchaser the prompt payment of sold receivables, and has granted a security interest in its assets for the benefit of the Purchasers. Under the RPA, which matures in March 2024, each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. The Company is the master servicer under the RPA, and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables.
The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables may be used to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis, or to reduce all or any portion of the outstanding capital of the Purchasers. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $113,200 and $96,590, respectively, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, Matthews RFC maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $48,501 and $44,262 as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The following table sets forth a summary of receivables sold as part of the RPA:

|  | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023 |  | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022
Gross receivables sold |  | $ | 301,045 |  |  | $ | 247,221 |
Cash collections reinvested |  | (284,435) |  |  | (147,220) |
Net cash proceeds received |  | $ | 16,610 |  |  | $ | 100,001 |

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company, through its U.K. subsidiary, entered into a non-recourse factoring arrangement. In connection with this arrangement, the Company periodically sells trade receivables to a third-party purchaser in exchange for cash. These transfers of financial assets are recorded at the time the Company surrenders control of the assets. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are de-recognized from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer. The principal amount of receivables sold under this arrangement was $36,045 during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The discounts on the trade receivables sold are included within administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The proceeds from the sale of receivables are classified as operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2023, the amount of factored receivables that remained outstanding was $15,714.

Note 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements (continued)
The Company, through certain of its European subsidiaries, has a credit facility with a European bank, which is guaranteed by Matthews. The maximum amount of borrowing available under this facility is €10.0 million ($10,886). The facility also provides €16.0 million ($17,418) for bank guarantees. This facility has no stated maturity date and is available until terminated. Outstanding borrowings under the credit facility totaled €2.2 million ($2,362) and €8.2 million ($8,050) at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under this facility was 5.65% and 2.25% at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Other borrowings totaled $17,345 and $13,434 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on all other borrowings was 2.44% and 1.90% at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximated the carrying value included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2023.
Note 8. Derivatives and Hedging Instruments
The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency, debt and interest rate exposures. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, derivative instruments were reflected on a gross-basis in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Derivatives: |  | June 30, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
|  | Interest Rate Swaps | Cross- Currency Swaps |  | Interest Rate Swaps | Cross- Currency Swaps
Current assets: |  |  |  |  |  |
Other current assets |  | $ | 365 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3,358 |  | $ | — |
Long-term assets: |  |  |  |  |  |
Other assets |  | 1,369 |  | — |  |  | 7,341 |  | 3,722 |
Current liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |
Other current liabilities |  | (127) |  | — |  |  | — |  | — |
Long-term liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |
Other liabilities |  | (436) |  | (4,368) |  |  | — |  | — |
Total derivatives |  | $ | 1,171 |  | $ | (4,368) |  |  | $ | 10,699 |  | $ | 3,722 |

The following table presents information related to interest rate swaps entered into by the Company and designated as cash flow hedges:

|  | June 30, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
Notional amount |  | $ | 175,000 |  |  | $ | 125,000 |
Weighted-average maturity period (years) |  | 4.4 |  | 3.1
Weighted-average received rate |  | 5.14 | % |  | 3.14 | %
Weighted-average pay rate |  | 3.83 | % |  | 1.04 | %

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. In order to transition the Company's swaps from LIBOR-based to SOFR-based rates, the LIBOR-based swaps were settled during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in cash proceeds of $10,474. Concurrently, the Company entered into new interest rate swaps with SOFR-based rates with a notional amount of $175,000. The interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of future variable interest payments which are considered probable of occurring. Based on the Company's assessment, all of the critical terms of each of the hedges matched the underlying terms of the hedged debt and related forecasted interest payments, and as such, these hedges were considered highly effective.

Note 8. Derivatives and Hedging Instruments (continued)
The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflected a net unrealized gain of $1,171 ($876 after tax) at June 30, 2023 and an unrealized gain of $10,699 ($7,937 after tax) at September 30, 2022, that is included in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Unrecognized gains of $9,263 ($6,922 after tax) related to the terminated LIBOR-based swaps were also included in AOCI as of June 30, 2023. Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2023, a gain (net of tax) of approximately $3,550 included in AOCI is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months.
The Company has a U.S. Dollar/Euro cross currency swap with a notional amount of $81,392, as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, which has been designated as a net investment hedge of foreign operations. The swap contract matures in September 2027. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness for this contract based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot prices. A loss of $3,265 (net of income taxes of $1,103) and a gain of $2,782 (net of income taxes of $940), which represented effective hedges of net investments, were reported as a component of AOCI within currency translation adjustment at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Income of $284 and $866, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Income of $428 and $1,213, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the swaps totaled $4,368 and $3,722, respectively, and was included in other accrued liabilities and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
Refer to Note 12, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" for further details regarding amounts recorded in AOCI and the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) related to derivatives.
Note 9. Share-Based Payments
The Company maintains an equity incentive plan (as amended and restated, the "2017 Equity Incentive Plan") that provides for grants of stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, stock-based performance units and certain other types of stock-based awards. Under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which has a ten-year term from the date the Company's Board of Directors approved of the amendment and restatement of the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, the maximum number of shares available for grants or awards is an aggregate of 3,450,000 (subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock dividends or stock splits), following the amendment and restatement of the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan at the Company's 2022 Annual Shareholder Meeting. At June 30, 2023, 493,758 shares have been issued under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. 1,041,615 time-based restricted share units, 1,313,162 performance-based restricted share units, and 75,000 stock options have been granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. 1,801,197 of these share-based awards are outstanding as of June 30, 2023. The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The number of shares issued under performance-based restricted share units may be up to 200% of the number of performance-based restricted share units, based on the satisfaction of specific criteria established by the plan administrator.
For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation cost totaled $5,023 and $5,197, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation cost totaled $13,635 and $14,128, respectively. The associated future income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation was $1,249 and $1,282 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2,856 and $2,970 for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
With respect to the restricted share unit grants, units generally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of units that vest depend on certain time and performance thresholds. Such performance thresholds include adjusted earnings per share, return on invested capital, appreciation in the market value of the Company's Class A Common Stock, or other targets established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Approximately 43% of the outstanding share units vest based on time, while the remaining vest based on pre-defined performance thresholds. The Company issues common stock from treasury shares once the units become vested.

Note 9. Share-Based Payments (continued)
The transactions for restricted shares and restricted share units for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows:

| Shares /Units |  | Weighted- average Grant-date Fair Value
Non-vested at September 30, 2022 | 1,459,233 |  |  | $ | 33.78 |
Granted | 618,050 |  |  | 27.69 |
Vested | (208,408) |  |  | 34.95 |
Expired or forfeited | (142,678) |  |  | 40.66 |
Non-vested at June 30, 2023 | 1,726,197 |  |  | $ | 30.89 |

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, 75,000 stock options were granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The option price for each stock option granted was $41.70, which was equal to the fair market value of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. These options vest in one-third increments annually over three years from the grant date. Unvested stock options expire on the earlier of five years from the date of grant, or upon employment termination, retirement or death. The Company generally settles employee stock option exercises with treasury shares.
As of June 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested stock-based awards was $21,695 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2019 Director Fee Plan, the Amended and Restated 2014 Director Fee Plan and the 1994 Director Fee Plan (collectively, the "Director Fee Plans"). There will be no further fees or share-based awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2014 Director Fee Plan and the 1994 Director Fee Plan. Under the Amended and Restated 2019 Director Fee Plan, non-employee directors (except for the Chairman of the Board) each receive, as an annual retainer fee for fiscal 2023, either cash or shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock with a value equal to $90. The annual retainer fee for fiscal 2023 paid to the non-employee Chairman of the Board is $210. Where the annual retainer fee is provided in shares, each director may elect to be paid these shares on a current basis or have such shares credited to a deferred stock account as phantom stock, with such shares to be paid to the director subsequent to leaving the Board. The total number of shares of stock that have been authorized to be issued under the Amended and Restated 2019 Director Fee Plan or credited to a deferred stock compensation account for subsequent issuance is 300,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock dividends or stock splits), following the amendment and restatement of the 2019 Director Fee Plan at the Company's 2023 Annual Shareholder Meeting. The value of deferred shares is recorded in other liabilities. A total of 45,005 shares and share units had been deferred under the Director Fee Plans as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, non-employee directors each receive an annual stock-based grant (non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted shares or units) with a value of $140 for fiscal 2023. As of June 30, 2023, 336,127 restricted shares and restricted share units have been granted under the Director Fee Plans, 162,898 of which were issued under the 2019 Director Fee Plan. 60,057 restricted share units are unvested at June 30, 2023 under the Director Fee Plans.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share Attributable to Matthews' Shareholders
The information used to compute earnings (loss) per share attributable to Matthews' common shareholders was as follows:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net income (loss) attributable to Matthews shareholders | $ | 8,738 |  |  | $ | 2,893 |  |  | $ | 21,568 |  |  | $ | (18,815) |
Weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands): |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic shares | 30,795 |  |  | 31,244 |  |  | 30,758 |  |  | 31,531 |
Effect of dilutive securities | 449 |  |  | 308 |  |  | 371 |  |  | — |
Diluted shares | 31,244 |  |  | 31,552 |  |  | 31,129 |  |  | 31,531 |
Dividends declared per common share | $ | 0.23 |  |  | $ | 0.22 |  |  | $ | 0.69 |  |  | $ | 0.66 |

Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the dilution calculation were insignificant for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, and the three months ended June 30, 2022. During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted-average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards is anti-dilutive.
Note 11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company provides defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans to certain employees. Net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit cost for the plans included the following:

Benefit payments under the Company's principal defined benefit retirement plan ("DB Plan") were made from plan assets, while benefit payments under the supplemental retirement plan were made from the Company's operating funds. Benefit payments under the Company's postretirement benefit plan are made from the Company's operating funds.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Note 11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans (continued)
In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company made lump sum payments totaling $24,242 to fully settle the supplemental retirement plan ("SERP") and defined benefit portion of the officers retirement restoration plan ("ORRP") obligations. The settlement of these plan obligations resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $1,271, which has been presented as a component of other income (deductions), net for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. This amount represents the immediate recognition of the deferred AOCI balances related to the SERP and ORRP. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the remaining funds held in a rabbi trust associated with the SERP were transferred to the Company. Consequently, these amounts are no longer classified as restricted cash.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company terminated its DB Plan and made plan contributions totaling $35,706 to fully fund the planned settlement of the DB Plan obligations. Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, lump sum distributions of $185,958 were made from the DB Plan to plan participants, and non-participating annuity contracts totaling $56,274 were purchased by the DB Plan for plan participants, resulting in the full settlement of the DB Plan obligations. The settlement of the DB Plan obligations resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $30,856, which has been presented as a component of other income (deductions), net for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. This amount represents the immediate recognition of the remaining portion of the deferred AOCI balances related to the DB Plan.

Note 13. Income Taxes
Income tax provisions for the Company's interim periods are based on the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company's consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were an expense of $4,136, compared to a benefit of $2,311 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The difference between the Company’s consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period for fiscal 2022 primarily resulted from consolidated pre-tax income in fiscal 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss in fiscal 2022. The Company’s fiscal 2023 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, tax credits, and non-tax benefited foreign losses. The Company’s fiscal 2022 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the non-deductible asset write-downs in Russia, state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, and tax credits.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) of $4,582 and $4,123 on June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, which would impact the annual effective rate at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3,213 in the next 12 months primarily due to the completion of audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations.
The Company classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. Total penalties and interest accrued were $959 and $876 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. These accruals may potentially be applicable in the event of an unfavorable outcome of uncertain tax positions.
The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for those tax jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2023, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdictions generally are:

United States – Federal | 2019 and forward
United States – State | 2018 and forward
Canada | 2019 and forward
Germany | 2019 and forward
United Kingdom | 2021 and forward
Singapore | 2018 and forward
Australia | 2018 and forward

Note 14. Segment Information
The Company manages its businesses under three segments: Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions. The Memorialization segment consists primarily of bronze and granite memorials and other memorialization products, caskets, cremation-related products, and cremation and incineration equipment primarily for the cemetery and funeral home industries. The Industrial Technologies segment includes the design, manufacturing, service and distribution of high-tech custom energy storage solutions, product identification and warehouse automation technologies and solutions, including order fulfillment systems for identifying, tracking, picking and conveying consumer and industrial products. The SGK Brand Solutions segment consists of brand management, pre-media services, printing plates and cylinders, imaging services, digital asset management, merchandising display systems, and marketing and design services primarily for the consumer goods and retail industries.
The Company's primary measure of segment profitability is adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). 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 integration costs, and strategic initiatives and other charges. This presentation is consistent with how the Company's chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) evaluates the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss.

Note 14. Segment Information (continued)
In addition, the CODM manages and evaluates the operating performance of the segments, as described above, on a pre-corporate cost allocation basis. Accordingly, for segment reporting purposes, the Company does not allocate corporate costs to its reportable segments. Corporate costs include management and administrative support to the Company, which consists of certain aspects of the Company’s executive management, legal, compliance, human resources, information technology (including operational support) and finance departments. These costs are included within "Corporate and Non-Operating" in the following table to reconcile to consolidated adjusted EBITDA and are not considered a separate reportable segment. Management does not allocate non-operating items such as investment income, other income (deductions), net and noncontrolling interest to the segments.
The following table sets forth information about the Company's segments, including a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income.

(1) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(2) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with productivity and cost-reduction initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts, net of loss recoveries of $2,154 related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
(3) 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) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to the Company's Turkish subsidiaries (see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation").
(5) Represents items associated with the termination of the Company's DB Plan, supplemental retirement plan and the defined benefit portion of the officers retirement restoration plan.
(6) Represents asset write-downs within the SGK Brand Solutions segment (see Note 17, "Asset Write-Downs").
(7) 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.
(8) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $1,212 and $2,758 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Note 15. Acquisitions (continued)
Fiscal 2022:
In August 2022, the Company acquired German-based engineering firms OLBRICH and R+S Automotive for a purchase price of approximately €43,700 ($44,469) (net of cash acquired) within the Industrial Technologies segment.

R+S Automotive is a specialty engineering services provider of automation, plant and tooling concepts for automotive manufacturing companies around the world. Annual sales for these businesses were approximately $140,000 prior to the acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation was not finalized as of June 30, 2023 and remains subject to change as the Company obtains additional information related to other assets and liabilities.
Note 16. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
A summary of the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment as well as the changes in such amounts are as follows:

| Memorialization |  | Industrial Technologies |  | SGK Brand Solutions |  | Consolidated
Net goodwill at September 30, 2022 | $ | 361,782 |  |  | $ | 107,022 |  |  | $ | 206,617 |  |  | $ | 675,421 |
Additions during period | 2,682 |  |  | 6,756 |  |  | 1,924 |  |  | 11,362 |
Translation and other adjustments | 2,739 |  |  | 795 |  |  | 12,599 |  |  | 16,133 |
Net goodwill at June 30, 2023 | $ | 367,203 |  |  | $ | 114,573 |  |  | $ | 221,140 |  |  | $ | 702,916 |

The net goodwill balances at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 included $261,186 of accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated impairment losses at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $5,000, $23,946 and $232,240 for the Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions segments, respectively.
The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (January 1, 2023) and determined that the estimated fair values for all goodwill reporting units exceeded their carrying values, therefore no impairment charges were necessary. The estimated fair value of the Company's SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit exceeded the carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) by approximately 9%. If current projections are not achieved or specific valuation factors outside the Company's control (such as discount rates and continued economic and industry challenges) significantly change, additional goodwill write-downs may be necessary in future periods.

Note 17. Asset Write-Downs
The Company has certain operations in Russia within its SGK Brand Solutions segment. During fiscal 2022, in light of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the resulting regional instability and evolving political and economic conditions within the region, the Company evaluated certain of its assets for recoverability and impairment. As a result of this assessment, and due to the uncertainty in projecting future cash flows for the Company's operations in Russia, the Company recorded asset write-downs totaling $10,017 (net of recoveries) during fiscal 2022 to reduce the carrying value of these assets to zero. Asset write-downs (primarily related to property, plant and equipment) totaling $9,686 and $331 were reported within cost of sales and administrative expense, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Matthews International Corporation ("Matthews" or the "Company") and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are included pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, 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 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, 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, cybersecurity concerns, 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, and other factors described in Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q and Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. In addition, although the Company does not currently have any customers that would be considered individually significant to consolidated sales, changes in the distribution of the Company's products or the potential loss of one or more of the Company's larger customers are also considered risk factors. Matthews cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not all inclusive. Readers are also cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date of this report, even if subsequently made available by Matthews on its website or otherwise. Matthews does not undertake to update any forward looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of Matthews to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.
Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures assist management in comparing the Company's 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. For additional information and reconciliations from the consolidated financial statements see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company manages its businesses under three segments: Memorialization, Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions. The Memorialization segment consists primarily of bronze and granite memorials and other memorialization products, caskets, cremation-related products, and cremation and incineration equipment primarily for the cemetery and funeral home industries. The Industrial Technologies segment includes the design, manufacturing, service and distribution of high-tech custom energy storage solutions, product identification and warehouse automation technologies and solutions, including order fulfillment systems for identifying, tracking, picking and conveying consumer and industrial products. The SGK Brand Solutions segment consists of brand management, pre-media services, printing plates and cylinders, imaging services, digital asset management, merchandising display systems, and marketing and design services primarily for the consumer goods and retail industries.
The Company's primary measure of segment profitability is adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). 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 integration costs, and strategic initiatives and other charges. This presentation is consistent with how the Company's chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) evaluates the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business. For these reasons, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss.
25

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
In addition, the CODM manages and evaluates the operating performance of the segments, as described above, on a pre-corporate cost allocation basis. Accordingly, for segment reporting purposes, the Company does not allocate corporate costs to its reportable segments. Corporate costs include management and administrative support to the Company, which consists of certain aspects of the Company’s executive management, legal, compliance, human resources, information technology (including operational support) and finance departments. These costs are included within "Corporate and Non-Operating" in the following table to reconcile to consolidated adjusted EBITDA and are not considered a separate reportable segment. Management does not allocate non-operating items such as investment income, other income (deductions), net and noncontrolling interest to the segments.
The following table sets forth the sales and adjusted EBITDA for the Company's three reporting segments for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Refer to Note 14, "Segment Information" in Item 1 - "Financial Statements" for the Company's financial information by segment.

(1) Total Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.
Sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.40 billion, compared to $1.31 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of $95.5 million. The increase in fiscal 2023 sales reflected higher sales in the Industrial Technologies and Memorialization segments, partially offset by lower sales in the SGK Brand Solutions segment. On a consolidated basis, changes in foreign currency exchange rates were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $28.6 million on fiscal 2023 sales compared to the prior year.
Memorialization segment sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were $638.1 million, compared to $633.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The sales increase reflected improved price realization, higher sales of granite memorial products, mausoleums and cremation equipment in the U.S., and benefits from the recent acquisition of Eagle Granite Company (see Acquisitions below). These increases were partially offset by lower unit sales of caskets and bronze memorial products, reflecting a decrease in coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") related deaths in fiscal 2023. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $2.3 million on the segment's sales compared to the prior year. Industrial Technologies segment sales were $365.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to $230.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The sales increase primarily reflected the impact of the fiscal 2022 acquisitions of OLBRICH GmbH ("OLBRICH") and R+S Automotive GmbH ("R+S Automotive") (see Acquisitions below). The increase in sales also reflected higher sales of purpose-built engineered products (primarily energy storage solutions for the electric vehicle market), higher product identification sales, and increased sales of warehouse automation solutions. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $8.5 million on the segment's sales compared to the prior year. In the SGK Brand Solutions segment, sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were $397.4 million, compared to $440.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $17.9 million on the segment's sales compared to the prior year. The decrease in sales also reflected lower brand sales in Europe, a decline in sales of cylinder (packaging) products in Europe, and lower U.S. and European retail-based sales. These decreases were partially offset by improved price realization.
Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $426.9 million, compared to $377.0 million for the same period a year ago. Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales was 30.5% and 28.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The increase in gross profit primarily reflected the impact of higher sales (including benefits from
26

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
recent acquisitions), and benefits from the realization of productivity improvements and other cost-reduction initiatives. These increases in gross profit were partially offset by the impact of higher material and labor costs, and lower margins on cylinder (packaging) products. Gross profit also included acquisition integration costs and other charges primarily in connection with cost-reduction initiatives totaling $6.1 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Fiscal 2022 gross profit included $9.7 million of asset write-downs related to the war between Russia and Ukraine (see below for further details).
Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 were $333.6 million, compared to $302.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Consolidated selling and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, were 23.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 23.2% for the same period last year. Fiscal 2023 selling and administrative expenses reflected the impact of higher salaries and wage rates, higher travel and entertainment ("T&E") costs, additional expenses from recently completed acquisitions, and fees associated with a receivables purchase agreement and factoring arrangement (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below). These increases in selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by benefits from ongoing cost-reduction initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses also included acquisition integration and related systems-integration costs, and other charges primarily in connection with cost-reduction initiatives totaling $10.8 million in fiscal 2023, compared to $11.0 million in fiscal 2022. Intangible amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $31.5 million, compared to $45.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Fiscal 2022 intangible amortization included $9.5 million of amortization related to certain trade names that have been discontinued.
Adjusted EBITDA was $163.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and $154.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Memorialization segment adjusted EBITDA was $127.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to $118.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA reflected the impact of higher sales and benefits from productivity initiatives, which were partially offset by the impact of higher material, labor and T&E costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the Industrial Technologies segment was $42.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $33.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected the impact of higher sales of engineered products, partially offset by the impact of higher labor and T&E costs, and unfavorable contributions from recent acquisitions. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $2.1 million on the segment's adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the SGK Brand Solutions segment was $39.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to $43.4 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected the impact of lower sales, higher material, labor and T&E costs, and lower margins on cylinder (packaging) products. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from cost-reduction initiatives. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $1.8 million on the segment's adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year.
Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $33.2 million, compared to $19.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense primarily reflected higher average interest rates in the current fiscal year. Other income (deductions), net, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 represented a decrease in pre-tax income of $3.0 million, compared to a decrease in pre-tax income of $30.9 million for the same period last year. Other income (deductions), net includes the non-service components of pension and postretirement expense, which totaled $1.6 million and $31.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Fiscal 2023 non-service pension expense included a $1.3 million non-cash charge resulting from the settlement of the Company's supplemental retirement plan ("SERP") and defined benefit portion of the officers retirement restoration plan ("ORRP") obligations. Fiscal 2022 non-service pension expense included a $30.9 million non-cash charge resulting from the full settlement of the Company's principal defined benefit retirement plan ("DB Plan") obligations. Refer to Note 11, "Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans" in Item 1 - "Financial Statements" for further details. Other income (deductions), net also includes investment income, banking-related fees and the impact of currency gains and losses on certain intercompany debt and foreign denominated cash balances. Fiscal 2023 other income (deductions), net included $3.1 million of currency losses associated with highly inflationary accounting for the Company's subsidiaries in Turkey (see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation" in Item 1 - "Financial Statements").
Income tax provisions for the Company's interim periods are based on the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company's consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 were an expense of $4.1 million, compared to a benefit of $2.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The difference between the Company’s consolidated income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period for fiscal 2022 primarily resulted from consolidated pre-tax income in fiscal 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss in fiscal 2022. The Company’s fiscal 2023 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, tax credits, and non-tax benefited foreign losses. The Company’s fiscal 2022 nine-month effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the non-deductible asset write-downs in Russia, state taxes, foreign statutory rate differentials, and tax credits.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
Net losses attributable to noncontrolling interests were $125,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and $56,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The net losses attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflected losses in less than wholly-owned businesses.
Asset Write-Downs:
The Company has certain operations in Russia within its SGK Brand Solutions segment. During fiscal 2022, in light of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the resulting regional instability and evolving political and economic conditions within the region, the Company evaluated certain of its assets for recoverability and impairment. As a result of this assessment, and due to the uncertainty in projecting future cash flows for the Company's operations in Russia, the Company recorded asset write-downs totaling $10.0 million (net of recoveries) during fiscal 2022 to reduce the carrying value of these assets to zero. Asset write-downs (primarily related to property, plant and equipment) totaling $9.7 million and $331,000 were reported within cost of sales and administrative expense, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by 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, ERP integration costs, strategic initiatives 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 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 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 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.

(1) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $1.2 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
(2) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(3) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with productivity and cost-reduction initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts, net of loss recoveries of $2.2 million related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
(4) 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.
(5) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to the Company's Turkish subsidiaries (see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation" in Item 1 - "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data").
(6) Represents items associated with the termination of the Company's DB Plan, supplemental retirement plan and the defined benefit portion of the officers retirement restoration plan.
(7) Represents asset write-downs within the SGK Brand Solutions segment.
(8) 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.

* Depreciation and amortization was $5.8 million and $5.8 million for the Memorialization segment, $5.8 million and $2.5 million for the Industrial Technologies segment, $11.2 million and $13.3 million for the SGK Brand Solutions segment, and $1.2 million and $1.3 million for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $17.1 million and $17.4 million for the Memorialization segment, $17.6 million and $7.6 million for the Industrial Technologies segment, $33.5 million and $51.1 million for the SGK Brand Solutions segment, and $3.6 million and $4.0 million for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
** Acquisition and divestiture costs, ERP integration costs, and strategic initiatives and other charges were $270,000 and $902,000 for the Memorialization segment, $120,000 and $1.2 million for the Industrial Technologies segment, $3.9 million and $2.0 million for the SGK Brand Solutions segment, and $715,000 and $3.2 million for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $76.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to $84.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Operating cash flow for both periods principally included net income (loss) adjusted for deferred taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash pension expense, other non-cash adjustments, and changes in working capital items. Fiscal 2023 operating cash flow also reflected $24.2 million of contributions to fund the settlement of the Company's SERP and ORRP obligations, and $10.5 million of proceeds from the settlement of cash flow hedges. Fiscal 2022 operating cash flow reflected $35.7 million of contributions to fully fund the settlement of the Company's DB Plan obligations. Net changes in working capital items decreased operating cash flow by $16.1 million and $8.4 million in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The fiscal 2023 change in working capital principally reflected incentive compensation-related payments, higher inventory levels and lower trade accounts payables, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of receivables under a receivables purchase agreement and a non-recourse factoring arrangement (see below for further discussion), and changes in contract assets and liabilities related to products and services provided to customers over time.
Cash used in investing activities was $53.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $38.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $37.1 million, acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $15.3 million, and purchases of investments of $1.5 million. Investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $40.6 million, proceeds from the sale of investments of $3.1 million, and purchases of investments of $2.2 million.
Capital expenditures reflected reinvestment in the Company's business segments and were made primarily for the purchase of new production machinery, equipment, software and systems, and facilities designed to improve product quality, increase manufacturing efficiency and capacity, lower production costs and meet regulatory requirements. Capital expenditures for the last three fiscal years were primarily financed through operating cash. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment has averaged $43.5 million for the last three fiscal years. Capital spending for fiscal 2023 is currently estimated to be approximately $65 million. Capital spending in fiscal 2023 reflects additional capital projects to support new production capabilities and increased efficiencies within the Memorialization and Industrial Technologies segments. The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations to fund all anticipated capital spending projects.
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $56.4 million, primarily reflecting repayments, net of proceeds, on long-term debt of $31.4 million, treasury stock purchases of $2.8 million, and cash dividends of $21.2 million to the Company's shareholders. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $43.8 million, primarily reflecting proceeds, net of repayments, on long-term debt of $13.8 million, treasury stock purchases of $34.0 million, dividends of $20.8 million to the Company's shareholders, and $613,000 of holdback and deferred payments related to acquisitions from prior years.
The Company has a domestic credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that includes a $750.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which matures in March 2025. A portion of the revolving credit facility (not to exceed $350.0 million) can be drawn in foreign currencies. In March 2023, an amendment to the domestic credit facility implemented SOFR as the replacement of LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate under the facility. The Company accounted for the change in reference rate as a non-substantial modification. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility now bear interest at SOFR, plus a 0.10% per annum rate spread adjustment, plus a factor ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% (1.25% at June 30, 2023) based on the Company's secured leverage ratio. Previously, borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus a factor ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Company's secured leverage ratio. The secured leverage ratio is defined as net secured indebtedness divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) as defined within the domestic credit facility agreement. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% (based on the Company's leverage ratio) of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Company incurred debt issuance costs in connection with the domestic credit facility. Unamortized costs were $1.1 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The domestic credit facility requires the Company to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. A portion of the facility (not to exceed $55.0 million) is available for the issuance of trade and standby letters of credit. Outstanding U.S. dollar denominated borrowings on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $450.3 million and $472.1 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings for the domestic credit facility (including the effects of interest rate swaps) at June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 5.59% and 1.92%, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
The Company has $299.6 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due December 1, 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes"). The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company's obligations under the 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is subject to certain covenants and other restrictions in connection with the 2025 Senior Notes. The Company incurred direct financing fees and costs in connection with the 2025 Senior Notes. Unamortized costs were $1.3 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries sell, on a continuous basis without recourse, their trade receivables to Matthews Receivables Funding Corporation, LLC (“Matthews RFC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. In March 2022, Matthews RFC entered into a receivables purchase agreement (“RPA”) to sell up to $125.0 million of receivables to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) on a recurring basis in exchange for cash (referred to as “capital” within the RPA) equal to the gross receivables transferred. The parties intend that the transfers of receivables to the Purchasers constitute purchases and sales of receivables. Matthews RFC has guaranteed to each Purchaser the prompt payment of sold receivables, and has granted a security interest in its assets for the benefit of the Purchasers. Under the RPA, which matures in March 2024, each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. The Company is the master servicer under the RPA, and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables.
The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables may be used to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis, or to reduce all or any portion of the outstanding capital of the Purchasers. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $113.2 million and $96.6 million, respectively, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, Matthews RFC maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $48.5 million and $44.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The following table sets forth a summary of receivables sold as part of the RPA:

|  | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023 |  | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022
|  | (Dollar amounts in thousands)
Gross receivables sold |  | $ | 301,045 |  |  | $ | 247,221 |
Cash collections reinvested |  | (284,435) |  |  | (147,220) |
Net cash proceeds received |  | $ | 16,610 |  |  | $ | 100,001 |

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company, through its U.K. subsidiary, entered into a non-recourse factoring arrangement. In connection with this arrangement, the Company periodically sells trade receivables to a third-party purchaser in exchange for cash. These transfers of financial assets are recorded at the time the Company surrenders control of the assets. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are de-recognized from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer. The principal amount of receivables sold under this arrangement was $36.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The discounts on the trade receivables sold are included within administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The proceeds from the sale of receivables are classified as operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2023, the amount of factored receivables that remained outstanding was $15.7 million.
The Company, through certain of its European subsidiaries, has a credit facility with a European bank, which is guaranteed by Matthews. The maximum amount of borrowing available under this facility is €10.0 million ($10.9 million). The facility also provides €16.0 million ($17.4 million) for bank guarantees. This facility has no stated maturity date and is available until terminated. Outstanding borrowings under the credit facility totaled €2.2 million ($2.4 million) and €8.2 million ($8.1 million) at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under this facility was 5.65% and 2.25% at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Other borrowings totaled $17.3 million and $13.4 million at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 2.44% and 1.90% at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency, debt and interest rate exposures. The following table presents information related to interest rate swaps entered into by the Company and designated as cash flow hedges:

|  | June 30, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
|  | (Dollar amounts in thousands)
Notional amount |  | $ | 175,000 |  |  | $ | 125,000 |
Weighted-average maturity period (years) |  | 4.4 |  | 3.1
Weighted-average received rate |  | 5.14 | % |  | 3.14 | %
Weighted-average pay rate |  | 3.83 | % |  | 1.04 | %

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. In order to transition the Company's swaps from LIBOR-based to SOFR-based rates, the LIBOR-based swaps were settled during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in cash proceeds of $10.5 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into new interest rate swaps with SOFR-based rates with a notional amount of $175.0 million. The interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of future variable interest payments, which are considered probable of occurring. Based on the Company's assessment, all of the critical terms of each of the hedges matched the underlying terms of the hedged debt and related forecasted interest payments, and as such, these hedges were considered highly effective.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflected a net unrealized gain of $1.2 million ($876,000 after tax) at June 30, 2023 and an unrealized gain of $10.7 million ($7.9 million after tax) at September 30, 2022, that is included in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Unrecognized gains of $9.3 million ($6.9 million after tax) related to the terminated LIBOR-based swaps were also included in AOCI as of June 30, 2023. Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2023, a gain (net of tax) of approximately $3.6 million included in AOCI is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months.
The Company has a U.S. Dollar/Euro cross currency swap with a notional amount of $81.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, which has been designated as a net investment hedge of foreign operations. The swap contract matures in September 2027. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness for this contract based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot prices. A loss of $3.3 million (net of income taxes of $1.1 million) and a gain of $2.8 million (net of income taxes of $940,000), which represented effective hedges of net investments, were reported as a component of AOCI within currency translation adjustment at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Income of $284,000 and $866,000, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Income of $428,000 and $1.2 million, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the swaps totaled $4.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and was included in other accrued liabilities and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
The Company has a stock repurchase program. The buy-back program is designed to increase shareholder value, enlarge the Company's holdings of its common stock, and add to earnings per share. Repurchased shares may be retained in treasury, utilized for acquisitions, or reissued to employees or other purchasers, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation. Under the current authorization, 1,196,143 shares remain available for repurchase as of June 30, 2023. Refer to Item 2 - "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" in Part II - "Other Information" for further details on the Company's repurchases in fiscal 2023.
Consolidated working capital of the Company was $239.5 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $217.2 million at September 30, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $39.3 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $69.0 million at September 30, 2022. The Company's current ratio was 1.6 at June 30, 2023 and 1.5 at September 30, 2022, respectively.

(1) Lease obligations have not been discounted to their present value.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company made lump sum payments totaling $24.2 million to fully settle the SERP and defined benefit portion of the ORRP obligations. The settlement of these plan obligations resulted in the recognition of a non-cash charge of $1.3 million, which has been presented as a component of other income (deductions), net for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. This amount represents the immediate recognition of the deferred AOCI balances related to the SERP and ORRP. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the remaining funds held in a rabbi trust associated with the SERP were transferred to the Company. Consequently, these amounts are no longer classified as restricted cash.
Unrecognized tax benefits are positions taken, or expected to be taken, on an income tax return that may result in additional payments to tax authorities. If a tax authority agrees with the tax position taken, or expected to be taken, or the applicable statute of limitations expires, then additional payments will not be necessary. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, of approximately $4.6 million. The timing of potential future payments related to the unrecognized tax benefits is not presently determinable. The Company believes that its current liquidity sources, combined with its operating cash flow and borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to meet its capital needs for the foreseeable future.
REGULATORY MATTERS:
The Company’s operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations requiring strict compliance, including, but not limited to, the protection of the environment. The Company has established numerous internal compliance programs to further ensure lawful satisfaction of the applicable regulations. In addition, the Company is party to specific environmental matters which include obligations to investigate and mitigate the effects on the environment of certain materials at operating and non-operating sites. The Company is currently performing environmental assessments and remediation at certain sites, as applicable.
ACQUISITIONS:
Refer to Note 15, "Acquisitions" in Item 1 - "Financial Statements" for further details on the Company's acquisitions.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION:
The Company's current strategy to attain annual operating growth primarily consists of the following: internal growth - which includes organic growth, cost structure and productivity improvements, new product development and the expansion into new markets with existing products - and acquisitions and related integration activities to achieve synergy benefits.
The significant factors (excluding acquisitions) influencing sales growth in the Industrial Technologies segment include economic/industrial market conditions, new product development, and the electric vehicles ("EV") and e-commerce trends. The Industrial Technologies segment received over $200 million of new orders during the fiscal 2023 first quarter for its energy

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
storage solutions business. The orders have been received from multiple EV, fuel cell, and battery manufacturers and are expected to impact the segment’s sales through mid-fiscal 2024. For the Memorialization segment, sales growth will be influenced by North America death rates, and the impact of the increasing trend toward cremation on the segment's product offerings, including caskets, cemetery memorial products and cremation-related products. For the SGK Brand Solutions segment, sales growth will be influenced by global economic conditions, brand innovation, the level of marketing spending by the Company's clients, and government regulation. Due to the global footprint of the Company’s businesses, particularly the Industrial Technologies and SGK Brand Solutions segments, currency fluctuations can also be a significant factor.
Recent labor cost increases, supply chain challenges, and other inflation-related impacts are expected to impact the Company's results for the near future. The Company expects to partially mitigate these cost increases through price realization and cost-reduction initiatives.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience, economic conditions, and in some cases, actuarial techniques. Actual results may differ from those estimates. A discussion of market risks affecting the Company can be found in Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies are included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in the critical accounting policies in Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide useful and reliable financial information about the Company's operating results and financial condition.
The Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (January 1, 2023) and determined that the estimated fair values for all goodwill reporting units exceeded their carrying values, therefore no impairment charges were necessary. The estimated fair value of the Company's SGK Brand Solutions reporting unit exceeded the carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) by approximately 9%. If current projections are not achieved or specific valuation factors outside the Company's control (such as discount rates and continued economic and industry challenges) significantly change, additional goodwill write-downs may be necessary in future periods.
