Financial Highlights:
- Significant third quarter reduction in debt of $104.9 million
- Strong third quarter operating cash flow exceeded $57.0 million; YTD exceeded prior year by $34.2 million
- Memorialization segment reports higher sales for third fiscal quarter and YTD
- Third quarter GAAP EPS of $0.07; Non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.80
PITTSBURGH, July 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2020 and nine months ended June 30, 2020.
In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2020 third quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“I am very pleased with the performance of our overall business during these challenging times. The relative stability of our consolidated results reflects the diversity of our core businesses and highlights what we believe to be the strength of the franchise … leading market positions in stable end markets. Our performance has allowed us to deliver very strong cash flow for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and corresponding debt reduction which well exceeded last year’s performance.
“The Memorialization segment reported sales growth compared to a year ago, reflecting higher casket sales and an increase in sales of cremation equipment. These gains were partially offset by lower cemetery memorial products sales, which were impacted by many local stay-at-home orders that limited families’ access with cemeteries to arrange for their memorials. However, we anticipate most of these orders are deferred to a future date.
“Also, while economic conditions were slower during the quarter due to the pandemic, our SGK Brand Solutions segment performed well, particularly in our core brand packaging portion of the business. Despite more competitive customer pricing, sales volumes for our brand packaging business were relatively steady, particularly in the North America and Asia Pacific regions. Engineering sales, which are included in our SGK Brand Solutions segment, increased during the quarter reflecting our recent expansion into the energy storage market, but sales of cylinders and surfaces, primarily in the European region, declined for the quarter reflecting the economic impacts on those markets.
“Sales for our Industrial Technologies segment declined for the quarter compared to a year ago, also reflecting the slower global economy. Incoming orders for our warehouse automation solutions remained strong, but access to job sites to complete these orders was temporarily restricted due to the pandemic. Backlogs for the warehouse automation business continued to build, and, like our memorial products business, we anticipate these orders are deferred to a future date.
“I remain extremely proud of the efforts of our leadership team to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees under these challenging conditions and I continue to be equally as proud of the work and commitment of our employees.”

Consolidated sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $359.4 million, compared to $379.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $2.3 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $14.6 million, or $0.46 per share, for the same quarter last year. A significant portion of the net income decrease related to non-cash charges including the acceleration (beginning in the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter) of the amortization of certain discontinued trade names in the SGK Brand Solutions segment and a reserve for a letter of credit in connection with a previous incineration equipment project in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the decline reflected charges related to the Company's cost reduction program. Net income for the current quarter also reflected a gain on the divestiture of the Company’s ownership interest in a pet cremation business.
Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments) for the fiscal 2020 third quarter was $49.4 million, compared to $59.0 million a year ago. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2020 third quarter were $0.80 per share, compared to $0.90 per share a year ago. See reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share below.
Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2020 third quarter were $162.1 million, compared to $158.2 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of higher casket and cremation equipment sales, partially offset by lower cemetery memorial products sales. International memorial product sales and mausoleum sales were unfavorably impacted by COVID-19. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $369,000 on the segment’s current quarter sales compared to a year ago.
The SGK Brand Solutions segment reported sales of $165.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $181.9 million a year ago. The decline primarily reflected lower brand packaging revenues in North America and Europe and a decrease in private label sales. Sales of cylinders (primarily supporting the tobacco industry) and surfaces also declined for the current quarter. All regions reported some level of commercial impact from COVID-19, but the impact remains difficult to quantify. These declines were partially offset by higher sales for engineered products, primarily reflecting sales into the energy storage industry. Merchandising solutions sales were also higher for the quarter, due in part to new sales of face shields. Changes in currency rates had an unfavorable impact of $3.4 million on current quarter sales compared to a year ago.
Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment for the fiscal 2020 third quarter were $31.5 million, compared to $39.1 million a year ago. The decline primarily resulted from lower sales for each of the segment's principal product lines primarily reflecting the commercial impacts of COVID-19. Changes in foreign currency rates had an unfavorable impact of $166,000 on current quarter sales compared to a year ago.

Consolidated sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 were $1.10 billion, compared to $1.14 billion a year ago. Consistent with the results for the third fiscal quarter, the Memorialization segment reported higher year-to-date sales, reflecting increased casket sales partially offset by lower sales of cemetery memorial products. Year-to-date sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment were lower than a year ago, reflecting lower brand packaging sales in North America and Europe as well as lower sales of cylinders, surfaces and engineered products. Consolidated sales also reflected a decrease in sales for the Industrial Technologies segment, principally due to lower warehouse automation sales resulting primarily from deferrals of existing orders. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $10.4 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $94.6 million, or $3.04 per share, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $33.1 million, or $1.05 per share in the prior year. A significant portion of the decrease resulted from the write-down of goodwill and the accelerated amortization of certain discontinued trade names in the SGK Brand Solutions segment, and charges related to the Company's cost reduction program. Net loss for the current year also reflected the third quarter gain on the divestiture of the Company’s ownership interest in a pet cremation business and the unfavorable impact of a reserve for a letter of credit in connection with the incineration equipment project in Saudi Arabia.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $139.0 million, compared to $161.6 million a year ago. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 were $1.90 per share, compared to $2.30 per share a year ago. The decline primarily resulted from lower adjusted EBITDA offset partially by a reduction in interest expense. See reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share below.
Outlook
Mr. Bartolacci further stated: “With respect to the remaining three months of our fiscal year, COVID-19 continues to create uncertainty in the global markets and the industries that we serve. However, with the stable nature of our largest businesses, we expect the impact on our operating results to continue to be relatively limited on a consolidated basis.
“In the Memorialization segment, demand remains steady compared to a year ago for caskets and cremation equipment and, more importantly, order rates for cemetery memorials have recently normalized. For the SGK Brand Solutions segment, sales volumes for the brand packaging portion of the business have continued to remain relatively stable, particularly for packaging of consumer products such as food, cleaning products, household goods, and pharmaceuticals. Sales of cylinders and surfaces in Europe have been unfavorably impacted by the current economic conditions but are expected to improve next quarter while sales of engineered products into the energy storage market are expected to grow. Our Industrial Technologies segment has a solid backlog for our warehouse automation business, but our ability to complete projects is dependent on access to customer sites and the economy.
“Cash flow management efforts will continue to be a high priority for the remainder of the fiscal year and we currently expect additional debt reduction in the fourth fiscal quarter.”

Reconciliations of 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 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 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.

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. 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. | |||||||||||||||
