PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026.
In discussing the results for the Company’s fiscal 2026 third quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“The fiscal 2026 third quarter was a challenging quarter for us across all business segments. We continue to experience delays in the energy storage solutions business which are expected to extend through the balance of the fiscal year. Despite winning a significant new coating & converting order this quarter, the project has not contributed significantly to our financial results as of yet. In response to these challenges, we have taken difficult but necessary action to reduce the cost base of this business by $10 million annually. Additionally, our flagship Memorialization businesses continue to experience headwinds in terms of lower volumes combined with input costs escalating beyond inflationary price increases. Lastly, while the anticipated synergy benefits at The Propelis Group (“Propelis”) are now beginning to scale, our expectations of the timing to realize those synergies has not been achieved, resulting in an estimated $5 million shortfall to our full year forecast. Due to these combination of factors, we are reducing our previous earnings guidance for adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $158 million to $162 million (which includes our estimated 40% share of Propelis adjusted EBITDA) for fiscal 2026.”
“Despite the near-term challenges for the remainder of this fiscal year, we remain focused on driving shareholder value, including properly aligning our cost structure with the future state of our operations. Our GAAP earnings continue to be impacted by the costs associated with these efforts, however our corporate and other non-operating costs have yielded savings compared to last year, positively impacting our margins. We continue to execute on further cost reductions to scale our structure as post-divestiture support obligations are expected to expire over the balance of the calendar year.”
“Sales for the Memorialization segment for the fiscal 2026 third 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 realized the majority of targeted cost synergies. Sales volumes of caskets and cemetery memorials continued to be a headwind in the quarter due to lower estimated U.S. casketed deaths, which was compounded by escalating input costs. Inflationary price realization only partially offset the impact of these factors on our profitability for the quarter.”
“The Industrial Technologies segment reported a decline in sales for the fiscal 2026 third 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 third quarter, we initiated a restructuring program in our European engineering operations that will yield $10 million annual cost savings. We expect the total cost to achieve related to this restructuring to be approximately $10 million, of which approximately $5 million impacted third quarter results. Despite these difficult actions, we continue to focus on the long-term potential of dry electrode battery manufacturing as evidenced by launching MEODEO™, a next-generation, full-scale mass production demonstration line for dry-electrode battery manufacturing at our development center in Vreden, Germany. This facility offers our customers expanded testing capabilities from laboratory scale up to industrial gigafactory production. Our Product Identification business continues to receive significant customer interest in the MPERIA® Axian Inkjet (XIJ) systems and we are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Linx Printing Technologies designed to broaden customer access to each company’s product portfolio in key markets, opening the opportunity for our products to reach consumer packaged goods customers in the UK and France.
“Results for Propelis have shown considerable margin improvement from the first calendar quarter to the second. The joint venture remains on track to deliver a significant portion of the estimated $60 million of identified synergy opportunities over the coming quarters. Additionally, Propelis redeemed a portion of their shareholders’ interests in the third quarter, which provided $25 million of cash to Matthews that was used primarily to bring down our debt balance.”
“Over the last two years, 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 of 2026 are all outcomes of this effort to simplify Matthews’ business structure and enhance shareholder value. The Company’s strategic alternatives review remains ongoing with a heavy focus on developing strategic partnerships for our Industrial Technologies businesses.”
Divestiture of the SGK Business
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 June 30, 2026, the Company’s portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from January 2026 through March 2026. For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s portion of earnings (losses) for its equity-method investment in Propelis includes the months from July 2025 through March 2026.
The Company’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal third quarter of 2026 includes approximately a $10.0 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary estimates of adjusted EBITDA provided by Propelis for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, our 40% portion of their adjusted EBITDA would be $12.7 million. The Company’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal nine months ended June 30, 2026 includes a $32.4 million adjusted EBITDA contribution from Propelis. Based on preliminary financial estimates of adjusted EBITDA provided by Propelis for the period October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, our 40% portion of their adjusted EBITDA would be $32.2 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.

(2) Includes fees for receivables sold under the RPA and factoring arrangements totaling $380 and $974 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $1,430 and $3,291 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(3) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(4) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives, and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Also includes litigation costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”), which totaled $7,772 and $5,795 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $18,944 and $14,419 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Fiscal 2025 includes costs related to the Company’s 2025 contested proxy which totaled $207 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $5,109 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. Fiscal 2025 includes net gains on the sales of certain significant property and other assets of $8,655 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. Fiscal 2025 also includes loss recoveries totaling $538 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $1,708 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 which were related to a previously disclosed theft of funds by a former employee initially identified in fiscal 2015.
(5) Represents exchange losses associated with highly inflationary accounting related to certain Turkish subsidiaries which were recently divested.
(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 $7,985 and $7,394 for the Memorialization segment, $3,105 and $5,489 for the Industrial Technologies segment, and $564 and $596 for Corporate and Non-Operating, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(1) Includes certain non-recurring items associated with recent acquisition and divestiture activities.
(2) Includes certain non-recurring costs associated with commercial, operational and cost-reduction initiatives, and costs associated with global ERP system integration efforts. Also includes litigation costs related to an ongoing dispute with Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”), which totaled $7,772 and $5,795 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $18,944 and $14,419 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(4) 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.
(5) Represents the Company’s portion of amortization and other items incurred by Propelis.
(6) Represents tax-related items incurred in connection with assets the Company previously wrote off in Russia.

Minister Joly highlights Government of Canada investments from Budget 2026: Masters of our destiny to support industries
Published

November 13, 2026By
WOODBRIDGE, ON, Nov. 13, 2026 /CNW/ — In a world reshaped by geopolitical competition, protectionism and rapidly evolving technologies, Canada stands apart. Our abundant natural resources, clean and reliable energy, world-class talent, strong public finances, and access to global markets give us a clear competitive advantage.
We have the strength to build and the discipline to deliver.
These foundations are already translating into results: investment is growing, major projects are being built, and businesses are reaching new markets at home and abroad. Budget 2026 keeps Canada on a path to meet both fiscal anchors: balancing day-to-day operating spending with revenues by 2027–2028, a full year ahead of schedule, and keeping the deficit-to-GDP ratio on a declining path.
Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, met with Martinrea in Woodbrige, Ontario to highlight key investments from Budget 2026: Masters of our destiny to support Canada’s industries.
It is an ambitious plan to meet this moment and shape Canada’s economic future: building on our strengths, driving investment, boosting productivity, diversifying our trade, creating good jobs and making life more affordable for Canadians.
Budget 2026 is helping small businesses and key sectors navigate immediate pressures while strengthening their ability to adapt, diversify, grow, and compete over the long term by:
expanding the Strategic Response Fund, including $1 billion over six years, to support innovation, capital investment and R&D in areas like AI, agri-food, defence and aerospace, biomanufacturing and clean technologies, helping Canadian businesses innovate, pivot, scale up and compete globallyinvesting an additional $300 million over three years, starting in 2028–2029, and $200 million in future years, to leverage the Strategic Response Fund to expand industrial capacity and accelerate the adoption of modern methods of construction to build homes and help lower construction costsintroducing measures to improve competitiveness and leveraging the Canada Growth Incentive to mobilize more Canadian capital behind Canadian companiesinvesting in nuclear energy and critical minerals to help create high-paying jobs for Canadians, grow exports and strengthen Canada’s position as a global energy superpower
As global markets shift, the government is responding decisively through Budget 2026 to help Canadians and industry navigate this period of profound change and come out of it with a stronger, more diversified economy and become the masters of our destiny.
Quotes
“Being masters of our destiny is about having the confidence to build on our strengths and shape our own future. Canada has the resources, talent and ambition to succeed. Budget 2026 builds on those strengths by unlocking investment, building more at home, strengthening our energy and natural resource advantage, and helping Canadian businesses grow and compete on the world stage. That’s how we will create good jobs, make life more affordable, and build a stronger, more resilient and more united Canada for generations to come.”
– The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue
“Budget 2026 is about ensuring Canadian industry has the tools necessary to build, grow and compete in an increasingly unpredictable global economy. Through expanded support for research and commercialization, strategic investments in key sectors, and new support through the Strategic Response Fund, we are helping Canadian companies accelerate major projects, strengthen domestic supply chains, attract investment and create good jobs. These measures will reinforce Canada’s industrial competitiveness and ensure that the industries of the future are built here in Ontario and across Canada by Canadian workers and businesses.”
– The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions

Monotype Expands Inkwell with Four New Styles Inspired by the Freedom of Handwriting
Published
51 minutes agoon
November 13, 2026By
Inkwell Antique, Formal, Chancery, and Ornaments add new voices to the connected family.Designers can shift tone from formal to playful without leaving one coherent type family.
WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Monotype Imaging Inc., a global leader in type and technology, today announced the expansion of Inkwell®, an expressive type family inspired by the natural shifts, gestures, and imperfections of handwriting. Four new additions, Inkwell Antique, Formal, Chancery, and Ornaments, broaden the family’s creative range while retaining its distinctive handwritten character.
Designed by Jonathan Hoefler beginning in 2004, Inkwell was one of the first type families to interpret a broad range of typographic styles through the aesthetic of handwriting. Jordan Bell joined the project in 2015, helping develop the family for its 2017 release by Hoefler&Co. Its seven original styles — Serif, Sans, Script, Blackletter, Tuscan, Open, and Condensed — each span six weights. The expanded Inkwell family is now available in Monotype Fonts, Monotype Connect, and MyFonts.
Bell, now Senior Type Designer at Monotype, led the latest expansion, completing three additions that extend Inkwell into new historical, formal, and graphic territory, and adding an original set of Ornaments of his own design.
“Inkwell has always been a passion project — one built around the joy of making and using type,” said Jordan Bell, Senior Type Designer at Monotype. “With this expansion, our little universe of hand-drawn styles has expanded further, giving people more ways to create hierarchy, shift between typographic voices, and bring an expressive, human quality to their work.”
The designs reflect the physical behavior of writing through overlapping strokes, varied structures, simplified forms, and irregular transitions. These shared details allow the styles to be used independently or combined to introduce hierarchy, contrast, and personality while maintaining visual continuity.
Inkwell is already at work on restaurant menus, wine lists, museum copy, and maps. Together, the additions give designers more ways to use Inkwell across branding, publishing, packaging, signage, hospitality, cultural work, and identity systems, as well as playful applications including badges, labels, and illustration.
A Typeface That Speaks in Many Voices
The idea behind Inkwell began with a map. While designing materials for his wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Jonathan Hoefler wanted lettering that could sit naturally alongside casual illustration. Conventional type made the map feel too official, while formal calligraphy felt overly elaborate. The goal was something informal but considered, expressive without appearing immature — and the answer was handwriting.
Hoefler developed Inkwell as a comprehensive family of pen-drawn alphabets, giving designers the tools to establish hierarchy and shift tone while maintaining a consistent visual identity. Working together, Hoefler and Bell extended the concept across six weights, from the fine lines of a technical pen to the expressive force of a permanent marker. The latest expansion adds four new voices across 24 styles.
“Inkwell began with my desire to give typography the flexibility and expressiveness of handwriting beyond just the usual modes of cursive and block print,” said Jonathan Hoefler. “Jordan’s incredible facility with the pen made him a wonderful partner for not only developing Inkwell’s original styles, but exploring the beginnings of new styles together, and now introducing his own creations to the Inkwell family.”
Expanding Inkwell’s Creative Range
Each new addition gives designers a different way to create emphasis, atmosphere, and personality:
Inkwell Antique, inspired by ornamented lettering from the Victorian era, adds historic character for branding, packaging, posters, hospitality, and editorial design.Inkwell Formal offers a new twist on the classic engraver’s script, using contextual and position-specific characters to preserve natural handwritten variation for hospitality, events, wine labels, and luxury branding.Inkwell Chancery draws on Renaissance writing traditions, with swash capitals and contextual alternates, creating a useful contemporary family for publishing, museums, cultural institutions, and ceremonial work.Inkwell Ornaments extends the family beyond letterforms with charming emoji and illustrations, along with arrows, pointing hands, musical symbols, weather devices, and cartographic elements — bringing Inkwell back to its origins in mapmaking.
Inkwell Antique, Formal, Chancery, and Ornaments are now available through Monotype Fonts, Monotype Connect, and MyFonts.
