PITTSBURGH, PA, AUGUST 1, 2019 - Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019.
In discussing the Company’s results for the quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Consistent with the updated expectations that we provided last quarter, our third quarter continued to be challenging. The impact of the previously reported brand client account loss, continued slowness in casketed deaths, and significant currency headwinds all combined to pressure our fiscal 2019 third quarter results.
“Despite the challenging conditions in the current fiscal year, we generated higher operating cash flow in the current quarter compared to a year ago. In addition, several of the businesses appear poised to deliver strong results for the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter. In our SGK Brand Solutions segment, we currently have a high order backlog for our merchandising business, much of which is expected to be delivered in the fourth fiscal quarter. In addition, our private label brand business continues to deliver on its plan to convert recent significant account wins into a strong fiscal 2019 performance.
“In our Memorialization segment, work has begun on a significant incineration project in the U.K. and this business recently signed a letter of intent for another significant incineration project. Further, we appear to have a clear line of sight to several additional projects of similar scale. In addition, despite the recent delays by customers of several projects, the order backlog in the warehouse automation business looks very good for the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter and going into fiscal 2020.

“Order intake for our surfaces and engineered products is at record levels and, as discussed during our investor day presentation in June 2019, customer interest in our capabilities, particularly for supporting energy storage devices, continues to grow.
“Finally, we are beginning a cost reduction analysis targeting the businesses where revenue growth has been the most challenged to ensure those respective cost structures are right-sized for the current sales run-rates. We also plan to challenge our back-office administrative costs as well, particularly as we complete the final stages of our global ERP implementation.”

Consolidated sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were $379.3 million, compared to $411.6 million for the same quarter a year ago. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $8.6 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago. In addition, the previously reported loss of a significant brand client account, the impact of an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths on casket sales, and delays in several warehouse automation projects contributed to the year-over-year sales decrease. Consolidated sales for the current quarter were favorably impacted by sales growth in the private label brand market and higher sales of cremation and incineration equipment.
Net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $14.6 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to $24.4 million, or $0.77 per share, for the same quarter last year. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2019 third quarter were $0.90 per share, compared to $1.16 per share a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments) for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $59.0 million, compared to $69.2 million a year ago. These decreases from the fiscal 2018 third quarter primarily reflected the impacts of lower consolidated sales. See reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA below.
Sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment were $181.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $203.0 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected a combination of the previously reported loss of a significant brand client account, overall slower U.S. brand market conditions and delays in customer orders. However, sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment for the current quarter reflected higher sales in the private label brand market. In addition, the current quarter benefited from the impact of the acquisition of Frost Converting Systems (acquired November 2018). Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $7.1 million on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year.
Memorialization segment sales for the fiscal 2019 third quarter were $158.2 million, compared to $162.0 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected the impact of an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths. In addition, fiscal 2019 sales for the Memorialization segment were unfavorably impacted by the divestiture of a controlling interest in the pet cremation business. However, sales of cremation and incineration equipment were higher during the recent quarter. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of approximately $840,000 on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year.

Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment were $39.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $46.7 million a year ago. Warehouse automation sales were lower than the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting project delays by customers. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $616,000 on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year.
The Company purchased approximately 240,000 shares under its repurchase program during the fiscal 2019 third quarter.

Consolidated sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 were $1.145 billion, compared to $1.195 billion a year ago, representing a decrease of $50.2 million from the prior year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $27.1 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago. However, consolidated sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were favorably impacted by higher sales in the private label brand market. In addition, fiscal 2019 year-to-date consolidated sales reflected organic sales growth in Europe, higher sales of surfaces and engineered products, and an increase in warehouse automation sales. Recent acquisitions also contributed to sales for the current year.
Overall, on a year-to-date basis, the impact of the previously reported brand client account loss, continued slowness in casketed deaths, and significant currency headwinds unfavorably affected sales by an estimated $54 million, which is more than the actual consolidated sales decrease of $50.2 million. Although U.S. brand market conditions slowed and several warehouse automation projects were delayed by customers during the recent quarter, the private label brand business continued to grow, and sales of cremation and incineration equipment were higher.
Net income attributable to the Company for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $33.1 million, or $1.05 per share. A substantial portion of the decrease from the prior period reflected the favorable impact on last year’s earnings of U.S. Federal tax regulation changes. In addition, the results for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 included a loss on the divestiture of a controlling interest in the pet cremation business and an increase in interest expense related partially to the Company’s bond offering in December 2017, compared with a year ago.
On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were $2.30 per share, compared to $2.72 per share last year. The decrease primarily reflected the impacts of lower consolidated sales, higher interest expense and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $161.6 million, compared to $178.2 million a year ago. Changes in foreign currency rates were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $4.9 million ($0.12 per share) on adjusted EBITDA compared to last year. See reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA below.
The Company purchased approximately 570,000 shares under its repurchase program during the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

Outlook
Mr. Bartolacci further stated: “We currently expect year-over-year comparability to continue to be impacted for the remainder of fiscal 2019 by the headwinds of currency rate changes, the decline in U.S. casketed deaths, and the brand client loss. In addition, recent slowing in our U.S. brand business markets remains a near-term concern.
“However, strong order rates in our warehouse automation, cremation and incineration, and surfaces and engineered products businesses are encouraging. In addition, our private label business continues to strengthen, trends are improving in product identification sales and we currently maintain a strong backlog in our merchandising business.
“Based on these factors, we are not adjusting our current fiscal 2019 earnings targets at this time but remain cautious in light of the continuing challenges in our larger businesses."

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.

(1) Represents the Company's portion of intangible amortization expense incurred by non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for as equity-method investments within the Memorialization segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) The non-GAAP adjustment to pension and postretirement expense represents the add-back of the non-service related components of these costs. Non-service related components include interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains and losses. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. The other components of GAAP pension and postretirement expense are primarily influenced by general market conditions impacting investment returns and interest (discount) rates. 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) The tax-related adjustments in fiscal 2018 consisted of income tax regulation changes which included an estimated favorable tax benefit of approximately $37,800 for the reduction in the Company’s net deferred tax liability principally reflecting the lower U.S. Federal tax rate, offset partially by an estimated repatriation transition tax charge and other charges of approximately $11,000, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2018. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
