MATW

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) ("Matthews" and/or the "Company") today announced that Katherine E. Dietze and Morgan K. O'Brien, each a long-serving member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), have informed the Board that they will not stand for re-election at the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2027 Meeting"). Their decision reflects their support for the Company's strategic direction, the appointment of Michael J. Whitehead ("Mr. Whitehead") as the new President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Board's ongoing governance initiative to reduce its size from ten to eight directors, creating a more streamlined Board structure to more closely align with Matthews' next phase of growth.

Matthews International NASDAQ: MATW reported a fiscal 2026 third-quarter net loss of $23.7 million, or $0.75 per share, compared with net income of $15.4 million, or $0.49 per share, in the prior-year quarter, as delays in engineering orders, higher input costs and slower-than-expected synergy capture at Propelis weighed on results.
