Matthews International Reports Results for Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter
Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2019.
In discussing the Company’s results for the quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our businesses demonstrated solid underlying performance, which was muted by significant headwinds during the quarter, including the impact of changes in foreign currency rates and a decline in U.S. casketed deaths. We remain focused on building upon our leading market positions and the strength of our brands and capabilities, while reducing our cost structure. As a result, we are continuing to win new accounts and build market share by providing creative solutions for our customers.
"The significant headwinds during the quarter included a $12.8 million negative sales impact from changes in foreign currency rates and a decrease in casket sales of approximately $6 million related to an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths. As a result, our reported sales and adjusted EBITDA for the period were below our internal expectations. In addition, comparability with last year continued to be affected by the impact of the previously-reported significant brand client account that transitioned their work in house. Combined, the three headwinds accounted for an approximate $26 million unfavorable impact on sales for the quarter.
"Apart from these items, our core consolidated operating performance improved for the fiscal 2019 second quarter compared to last year. We again reported organic sales growth in our Industrial Technologies segment on the continued strength of the warehouse automation business. In addition, last quarter, we discussed softening conditions for this segment’s product identification sales, but recent trends in order rates are reflecting improvement.
"Sales to the private label brand market also increased during the quarter reflecting the benefit of recent new account wins. We reported on these new accounts beginning last fiscal year and we are starting to see the benefits of these efforts. In addition, sales for our surfaces and engineered products business (part of the SGK Brand Solutions segment) were higher for the quarter. This sales improvement reflected a combination of organic sales growth and the recent acquisition of Frost Converting Systems.
"In our Memorialization segment, sales of bronze and granite memorial products in the U.S. increased on an organic basis for the quarter despite the decline in U.S. casketed deaths. The acquisition of Star Granite and Bronze also contributed to the year-over-year increase in memorial product sales.
"We continue to emphasize cost containment efforts which contributed to a decrease in consolidated selling and administrative expense for the current year. The decrease also reflected lower performance-related compensation and, as planned, a reduction in ERP implementation costs. In addition, we reduced our outstanding debt by $7.3 million during the fiscal 2019 second quarter.”

Organic sales represent changes in sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. |
Consolidated sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $391.4 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $12.8 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago. In addition, the impact of a significant brand client account loss and an estimated significant decline in U.S. casketed deaths 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, increased sales of surfaces and engineered products, higher warehouse automation sales and increased sales of bronze and granite memorial products in the U.S. In addition, recent acquisitions also contributed to sales for the current quarter.
Net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $15.4 million, or $0.48 per share. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the fiscal 2019 second quarter were $0.90 per share. The decrease from the fiscal 2018 second quarter primarily reflected the impacts of lower consolidated sales and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to last year, which were partially offset by reduced selling and administrative expenses, higher investment income, and lower income taxes for the current quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments) for the fiscal 2019 second quarter was $56.2 million. Changes in foreign currency rates (primarily translation) were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $2.8 million ($0.06 per share) on adjusted EBITDA, compared to the same quarter last year. See reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA below.
Sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment were $190.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $207.1 million a year ago. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $11.1 million on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year. In addition, a significant brand client account loss unfavorably impacted sales by approximately $7 million for the current quarter, compared to a year ago. Sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment for the current quarter reflected higher sales in the private label brand market, organic sales growth in Europe and Asia, and increased sales of surfaces and engineered products. In addition, the current quarter benefited from the impact of the acquisition of Frost Converting Systems (acquired November 2018).
Memorialization segment sales for the fiscal 2019 second quarter were $162.2 million, compared to $168.7 million a year ago. The segment’s casket sales were approximately $6 million lower for the current quarter reflecting an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths. In addition, fiscal 2019 sales for the Memorialization segment were impacted by the divestiture of a controlling interest in the pet cremation business. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of nearly $1.0 million on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year. The segment reported higher sales of bronze and granite memorial products in the U.S. and the current quarter included the benefit of the acquisition of Star Granite and Bronze (acquired February 2018).
Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment were $38.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $38.3 million a year ago. The segment reported an increase in warehouse automation sales for the quarter, which were partially offset by lower product identification (marking products) sales. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $713,000 on the segment’s sales compared with the same quarter last year.
The Company purchased approximately 143,000 shares under its repurchase program during the fiscal 2019 second quarter.

Consolidated sales for the first six months of fiscal 2019 were $765.6 million, compared to $783.5 million a year ago, representing a decrease of $17.9 million from the prior year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $18.6 million on consolidated sales compared to a year ago. In addition, the current year reflected the impact of a significant brand client account loss and an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths. Consolidated sales for the first half of fiscal 2019 were favorably impacted by organic sales growth in Europe, in the private label brand market, and for surfaces and engineered products; higher warehouse automation sales; and increased sales of bronze and granite memorial products in the U.S. In addition, recent acquisitions also contributed to sales for the current year.
Net income attributable to the Company for the first six months of fiscal 2019 was $18.5 million, or $0.58 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 six 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 primarily related to the Company’s bond offering in December 2017, compared with a year ago.
On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2019 were $1.40 per share. 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 six months of fiscal 2019 was $102.7 million. Changes in foreign currency rates (primarily translation) were estimated to have an unfavorable impact of $4.1 million ($0.09 per share) on adjusted EBITDA compared to last year. See reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA below.
Sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment were $376.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $398.8 million a year ago. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $15.8 million on the segment’s sales compared with last year. In addition, a significant brand client account loss unfavorably impacted sales by approximately $12 million for the current year compared to a year ago. Sales for the SGK Brand Solutions segment for the current year reflected organic sales growth in Europe, in the private label brand market, and for surfaces and engineered products. In addition, the current year reflected the impact of the acquisition of Frost Converting Systems.
Memorialization segment sales for the first six months of fiscal 2019 were $316.1 million, compared to $313.6 million a year ago, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or 0.8%. The increase reflected higher sales of bronze and granite memorial products in the U.S. and the benefit of the acquisition of Star Granite and Bronze. These increases were partially offset by lower casket sales reflecting an estimated decline in U.S. casketed deaths. In addition, fiscal 2019 sales for the segment were impacted by the divestiture of a controlling interest in the pet cremation business. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $1.5 million on the segment’s sales compared with last year.
Sales for the Industrial Technologies segment were $73.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $71.1 million a year ago, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or 3.4%. The segment’s sales for fiscal 2019 reflected an increase in warehouse automation sales and the benefit of the acquisition of Compass Engineering (acquired November 2017). Product identification sales were lower for the current year and changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $1.3 million on sales compared with last year.
The Company purchased approximately 330,000 shares under its repurchase program during the first six months of fiscal 2019.
Outlook
Mr. Bartolacci further stated: "We currently expect the headwinds of year-over-year currency rate changes and the decline in U.S. casketed deaths to impact our full year results for fiscal 2019. As a result, achievement of our initial fiscal 2019 earnings targets has become more challenging.
"We remain encouraged by the continued strong order rates for warehouse automation and engineered products and the recent growth from new account wins in the private label brand market. In addition, improving trends in product identification sales, recent U.S. brand account wins, and a strong current backlog for merchandising solutions will have a positive impact on the remainder of the fiscal year. We also see potential new project opportunities for our engineered products and incineration equipment.
"Based on these factors, we have revised our earnings targets and are currently projecting adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2019 in the range of $240 million to $250 million and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.60 to $3.75.”
Typically, sales and earnings for the Company are stronger in the second half of the fiscal year, compared to the first half.

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.

Note: Adjustments to net income for non-GAAP reconciling items were calculated using an income tax rate of 26.0% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
(1) 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.
