Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The information used to compute (loss) earnings per share attributable to Matthews' common shareholders was as follows:
  2024 2023 2022
Net (loss) income attributable to Matthews shareholders $ (59,660) $ 39,291  $ (99,774)
Weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands):      
Basic shares 30,913  30,795  31,367 
Effect of dilutive securities —  494  — 
Diluted shares 30,913  31,289  31,367 
Dividends declared per common share $ 0.96  $ 0.92  $ 0.88 

Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the dilutive calculation were insignificant for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. 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.
