MATTHEWS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR
FISCAL 2026 SECOND QUARTER
Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
•Memorialization reports higher sales and adjusted EBITDA
•Arbitrator reaffirms Matthews' right to develop, produce, market and sell proprietary dry battery electrode solutions to third parties
•Propelis JV achieves key milestone toward executing on synergy targets

PITTSBURGH, PA, April 30, 2026 - Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026.
In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2026 second quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“We are pleased with our operating results for the fiscal 2026 second quarter. While our GAAP earnings were unfavorably impacted by unusual charges and amortization, we are happy to report non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share growth this quarter compared to last year despite recent divestitures. The Memorialization segment reported higher sales and adjusted EBITDA, and the Product Identification business also delivered higher sales. Although we continue to experience challenges in our energy storage solutions business, customer interest remains very strong. Corporate and other non-operating costs also declined meaningfully compared to last year. We continue to work on additional cost reduction plans to scale our structure as post-divestiture support obligations expire over the coming quarters.”
“Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2026 second quarter were higher than a year ago primarily reflecting the recent acquisition of The Dodge Company. This acquisition continues to be nicely accretive to earnings as we leverage the benefits of our Memorialization commercial platform and have already begun to realize cost synergies from integration. Sales volumes of caskets and cemetery memorials declined in the quarter due to lower U.S. casketed deaths. Inflationary price realization offset lower sales volumes of caskets and cemetery memorials in the quarter. The earnings impact of these sales increases and benefits from the segment’s ongoing productivity initiatives were significant factors in the segment’s improved operating margins.”
“The Propelis Group (“Propelis”) continues to report solid operating results since formation of the joint venture between our SGK business and SGS in May of 2025. During the quarter, Propelis successfully converted to a new business system platform that is expected to enable the integration of graphic

production work across the global enterprise, activating a significant portion of the estimated $60 million of targeted cost synergies for realization in the second half of calendar 2026. Additionally, we expect Propelis to redeem a portion of preferred shareholders’ interests in the second half of our fiscal year.”
“The Industrial Technologies segment reported a decline in sales for the fiscal 2026 second quarter. The decrease mainly resulted from the divestiture of the warehouse automation business during the fiscal first quarter of 2026 and challenges in our engineering business, including the impacts of the ongoing Tesla dispute. During the quarter, we received a favorable ruling from an arbitrator again confirming our right to develop, produce, market and sell our proprietary dry battery electrode ("DBE") solutions to third parties. Matthews successfully defeated Tesla's most meaningful claims as the arbitrator issued an interim decision denying the broad injunctive relief requested by Tesla and rejecting Tesla's attempts to prohibit us from selling Matthews' proprietary DBE technology and equipment. Instead, the interim decision includes a narrow injunction preventing Matthews from using certain parts in dry battery electrode machines. Matthews already has replacement parts, and thus the injunction is not expected to materially impede Matthews' operations or sales. Importantly, this most recent ruling provides further clarity for Matthews and its customers on a going forward basis. Interest from other customers in our dry battery electrode solutions remains very strong, and we anticipate will start to convert to orders in the second half of fiscal 2026. The Product Identification business achieved a major milestone during the quarter by recording its first commercial sales of the MPERIA® Axian Inkjet (XIJ) systems. We have received significant customer interest in the new product, and buildout of the supply chain to meet anticipated market demand is ongoing.”
“During the fiscal 2026 second quarter, we redeemed $300 million aggregate principal of 8.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2027, which has reduced interest expense for the quarter. The refinancing was funded using the proceeds from the recent divestitures of the warehouse automation and European packaging businesses combined with additional borrowings from our existing revolving credit facility.”
“The Board, with the support of J.P. Morgan, identified several alternatives for evaluation and consideration toward improving shareholder value and better alignment with the underlying value of the organization. The divestitures of SGK in 2025, and the warehouse automation and European packaging businesses in the first quarter are all outcomes of this effort to simplify Matthews’ business structure and enhance shareholder value. The Company’s strategic alternatives review remains ongoing.”
"For the remainder of fiscal 2026, we expect the Memorialization segment to continue to deliver modest year-to-year sales growth. Additionally, we expect conditions for the engineering business to remain challenging and dependent upon winning substantial new orders. Lastly, our projected share of the Propelis’ financial results includes the expectation for significant cost synergies to be executed and realized during the remainder of the year. Based on our results through March 31, 2026, and projections for the remainder of fiscal 2026, we are maintaining our previous earnings guidance of adjusted EBITDA of $180 million (which includes our estimated 40% share of Propelis adjusted EBITDA) for fiscal 2026."
Divestiture of the SGK Business
As previously reported, on May 1, 2025, the Company contributed the SGK business to a newly formed entity, Propelis, in exchange for cash and other consideration. The fiscal 2025 consolidated financial information presented in this release reflects the financial results of the SGK business through the closing date. As a result of the integration process of Propelis and transition to its stand-alone reporting systems, our 40% portion of the financial results of Propelis is reported on a one-quarter lag. Consequently, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from October 2025 through December 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from July 2025 through December 2025.

The Company’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal second quarter of 2026 includes approximately a $9.5 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary financial projections provided by Propelis, their current estimate of adjusted EBITDA for the period January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026 was $24.8 million. For comparison, our 40% portion of this amount would be $9.9 million. The Company’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal six months ended March 31, 2026 includes a $22.4 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary financial projections provided by Propelis, their current estimate of adjusted EBITDA for the period October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 was $48.5 million. For comparison, our 40% portion of this amount would be $19.4 million. Please note that these projections are unaudited and subject to review and, as a result, may change.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP, including, without limitation, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and EPS, constant currency sales, constant currency adjusted EBITDA, net debt and net debt leverage ratio. The Company defines net debt leverage ratio as outstanding debt (net of cash) relative to adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing its performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations including acquisition and divestiture costs, ERP system integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to certain commercial and operational initiatives and exit activities), stock-based compensation and the non-service portion of pension and postretirement expense. Constant currency sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA remove the impact of changes due to foreign exchange translation rates. To calculate sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, amounts for periods in the current fiscal year are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates applicable to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. Management believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's core operations, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company's calculations of its non-GAAP financial measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provided herein, provide investors with an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business that could not be obtained absent these disclosures.

(6) 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.

© 2026 Matthews International Corporation. All Rights Reserved. DISCLAIMER 2 Any forward-looking statements contained in this release are included pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies of the Company regarding the future, and may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “seeks,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “objective,” “targets,” “potential,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “could” or the negative of these terms, other comparable terminology and variations thereof. 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, and 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 risks to our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the joint venture transaction with Peninsula Parent LLC, d.b.a. Propelis Group ("Propelis"), 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, including changes in costs due to adjustments to tariffs or supply chain disruptions, any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, environmental liability and limitations on the Company’s operations due to environmental laws and regulations, disruptions to certain services, such as telecommunications, network server maintenance, cloud computing or transaction processing services, provided to the Company by third-parties, 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 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, divestitures, and business combinations, cybersecurity concerns and costs arising with management of cybersecurity threats, 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 hostilities in the Middle East, and conflicts and related sanctions or trade restrictions involving Venezuela, the Company's plans and expectations with respect to its exploration, and contemplated execution, of various strategies with respect to its portfolio of businesses, the Company's plans and expectations with respect to its Board of Directors, and other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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, enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to certain commercial and 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 system 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 system 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. The Company has presented constant currency sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA and believes these measures provide relevant and useful information, which is used by the Company's management in assessing the performance of its business on a consistent basis by removing the impact of changes due to foreign exchange translation rates. These measures allow management, as well as investors, to assess the Company’s sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis. The Company has also presented adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share and believes each measure provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts and investors, as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of its business. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain acquisition, divestiture, and system-integration costs, and items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. These measures provide management with insight into the earning value for shareholders excluding certain costs, not related to the Company’s primary operations. Likewise, these measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company’s business overall, as well as performance trends, on a consistent basis. Lastly, the Company has presented net debt and believes this measure provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts and investors as well as by our management. This measure provides management with insight on the indebtedness of the Company, net of cash and cash equivalents. This measure allows management, as well as analysts and investors, to assess the Company’s leverage.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
© 2026 Matthews International Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 13 Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP, including, without limitation, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and EPS, constant currency sales, and constant currency adjusted EBITDA, and net debt. 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 system integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to certain commercial and operational initiatives and exit activities), stock-based compensation and the non-service portion of pension and postretirement expense. Constant currency sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of changes due to foreign exchange translation rates. To calculate sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, amounts for periods in the current fiscal year are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates applicable to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. Management believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's core operations, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company's calculations of its non-GAAP financial measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provided herein, provide investors with an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business that could not be obtained absent these disclosures.

Also includes legal costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, Inc. ("Tesla"), which totaled $2,175 and $1,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $11,172 and $8,624 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(6) 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 $8,041 and $7,170 for the Memorialization segment, $2,966 and $5,644 for the Industrial Technologies segment, and $501 and $699 for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
