In its latest earnings report for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, Matthews International Corporation revealed a consolidated sales figure of $446.7 million for the quarter and $1.80 billion for the fiscal year. Despite challenges, the company demonstrated resilience with strong performances in core segments and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
Key financial highlights include a reduction of outstanding debt by $53.8 million during the quarter and the achievement of an adjusted EBITDA of $205.2 million for the fiscal year. The Memorialization segment saw improved operating margins, while the SGK Brand Solutions segment reported consecutive quarters of sales growth.

Looking forward, Matthews International is cautiously optimistic about fiscal 2025. The company anticipates stable performance in Memorialization, growth in the SGK Brand Solutions segment, and a potential recovery in Industrial Technologies. They project adjusted EBITDA in the range of $205 million to $215 million, supported by cost reduction efforts and strategic evaluations of their business portfolio.
