Earnings Preview: Matthews International

It is messy.
One tweet sends stock prices plummeting lower.
Another revives the hopes and dreams of beleaguered traders, and they go into a buying frenzy.
Scott Bessent gives a closed-door talk that is on the wires with a word-for-word replay almost instantly and the market rebounds.
Peter Navarro escapes from the broom closet Elon Musk shoved him into and prices collapse once again.
Most market participants are not big fans of messy markets.
Corporate executives hate the lack of clarity and cloud of uncertainty that make it impossible to fit the future into a spreadsheet.
Trading algorithms develop hiccups.
The massive increase in career risk freezes mutual funds and endowment managers in place.
Holding cash and sprinting down the halls at 50 Hudson Yards screaming &#8220;Prudent Man, Prudent Man&#8221; just might preserve that cushy job and allow the mortgage and private Pre-K tuition bills to be paid again next month.
Buying shares of a beaten-up tech stock just before an announcement of new tariffs on semiconductors could lead to a third-floor walkup on Clinton Street and Wallace Elementary School.
Mediocre performance for inaction is a much better deal than training for the Metro North to the Midtown ferry.
There is, however, one group that thrives in messy.
Activist investors, those now-gentlemanly investors that were known in days of old as corporate raiders and takeover artists, love messy.
Messy creates distortion and distortion creates opportunity.
Activists have been embracing the mess so far in 2025.
The Shareholders Advisory Group at Barclays just released its first quarter look at activism and it&#8217;s pretty clear that activists like what they see.
Despite economic storm clouds gathering on the horizon and unpredictable market volatility, the activists aren&#8217;t just staying in the game. They are doubling down.
Barclays&#8217; data shows that global campaign activity has roared ahead with 70 campaigns in Q1, jumping 17% year-over-year. More tellingly, that&#8217;s running 25% above the four-year quarterly average.
Particularly noteworthy for value-oriented investors: companies under $5 billion market cap are being targeted at an accelerated rate, representing 66% of campaigns in Q1. This tells me that activists are finding more inefficiencies and potential value in the small and mid-cap space.
Of course this is exactly where traditional value investors should be looking anyway.
An interesting small activist holding is in the portfolio of ValueAct Holdings out of San Francisco.
Over the past 25 years the firm has built up a strong track record of wins and winning board seats at target companies.
The firm has had big winners with tech companies like Microsoft (Ticker: MSFT), Adobe (Ticker: ADBE) and Salesforce (Ticker: CRM).
The firm currently owns over 4 million shares, or a little over 12% of Insight Enterprises (Ticker: NSIT). It currently has one board seat at the Information Technology company.
Insight Enterprises is a Fortune 500 global technology company founded in 1988 by brothers Tim and Eric Crown as Hard Drives International, initially selling computer storage products. The company later changed its name to Insight Enterprises in 1991, went public in 1995, and has since evolved into a comprehensive IT solutions provider with offices in 19 countries.
The business should see strong tailwinds from major trends including big data, AI, cloud computing and cyber security.
The stock has had a strong run during the time ValueAct has been involved but has had a pretty sharp decline since the start of Tariff Wars 2025 edition.
Many of Insight&#8217;s customers are governments and government agencies or in industries including healthcare and education that are seeing negative impacts from the administration policies.
The stock is currently 20% of ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio and at some point it may make sense for them to gently suggest that Insight look for a potential offer from a larger IT firm.
This could unlock some of the value of the company and give the activist an exit strategy.
Barington Capital Group is a small but scrappy activist investment firm headquartered in New York City. Founded in 2000 by James A. Mitarotonda, a former investment banker turned shareholder gadfly, Barington has built a reputation as a focused value-oriented investor that targets underperforming small- and mid-cap companies, usually with a consumer or industrial tilt.
Barington is not in the business of financial engineering or short-term flips. They&#8217;re more like value investors with an activist toolkit that is focused on long-term turnaround stories where unlocking operational or strategic inefficiencies can create a meaningful rerating.
Its current target is Matthews International (Ticker: MATW).
Matthews has a puzzling combination of businesses that include factory automation and tombstones, caskets, and cremation equipment.
It sold its packaging and branding business for $50 million earlier this year as the proxy fight heated up.
Barington lost the first round as the company was able to hold off the activist&#8217;s attempt to gain three board seats.
The company is potentially worth at least twice the current stock price, so I doubt Barington slinks away in defeat.
Like Arnold and MacArthur, they will be back.
There will be more volatility and general messiness.
It will create opportunity for activists and those who track the activists.

Matthews Urges Shareholders To Vote 'For' All Three Of Company's Director Nominees On White Proxy Card And 'Withhold' On Barington's Director Nominees

Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MATW#NASDAQ">MATW</a>) announced on Monday that a U.S. District Court Judge rejected Tesla Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) renewed effort to prevent Matthews from selling its proprietary dry <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43765748/u-s-district-court-judge-once-again-denies-teslas-request-to-block-matthews-international-from-sel" rel="noreferrer noopener">battery electrode (DBE) technology.</a>
This decision, made on February 14, 2025, comes after a series of legal actions taken by Tesla to contest Matthews&#8217; operations involving its DBE solutions.
According to Matthews, the recent court ruling follows an arbitration win in early February that upheld Matthews&#8217; right to sell its DBE technology internationally.
On February 6, 2025, Matthews had already secured a favorable arbitration decision, confirming its ability to continue providing its battery technology to global customers.
Tesla then swiftly filed legal challenges in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, but the court ruled in Matthews&#8217; favor, rejecting Tesla&#8217;s request for a temporary restraining order.

Just hours after presenting the motion for a temporary restraining order before Judge Edward Davila in California, Tesla filed yet another lawsuit against Matthews in Federal Court.
Matthews stated that Tesla&#8217;s latest complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California is meritless and appears to be nothing more than Tesla&#8217;s latest bullying tactic against Matthews.
The company plans to strongly defend its position and pursue additional legal actions against Tesla for what it perceives as wrongful conduct.
Matthews said it developed its DBE solutions more than 25 years ago. The company holds U.S. Patent No. 12,136,727 for the DBE technology.
Matthews began its relationship with Tesla in 2019 as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39362657/tesla-sues-former-supplier-over-trade-secret-theft-seeks-1b-compensation-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> supplier of manufacturing machinery</a>. Matthews said Tesla approached the company five years ago for engineering solutions and access to the company&#8217;s intellectual property and trade secrets.
Price Action: MATW shares closed higher by 3.04% at $25.73 on Friday.

Tesla Files Fresh Lawsuit Against Matthews After Court Defeat

<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Nk3PJU3T-svsw_abx279r3GkSZSr9uN1RfHDqfeYfC1XJqX_5r_JnetexpdYmKD11lQorekwcoijlCMc2EdBlVWFoqz6MI5f2pBT5Y40WQE=">Matthews International Corporation</a> (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) ("Matthews" or the "Company") today announced that a U.S. District Court Judge has issued an order denying Tesla's renewed request to block Matthews' right to sell its innovative DBE solutions to existing and potential global customers. The Company issued the following statement:
On February 6, 2025, Matthews announced the favorable ruling in arbitration against Tesla, which reaffirmed the Company's right to sell its proprietary dry battery electrode technology ("DBE") to customers around the world. Since that date, Tesla has responded by filing two additional legal attacks – in less than seven days – in the United Stated District Court for the Northern District of California, attempting to re-litigate issues that have already been decided in Matthews' favor.
On Friday, February 14, 2025, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila issued an order denying Tesla's request for a temporary restraining order attempting to block Matthews' right to sell its innovative DBE offerings.
Within hours of arguing the temporary restraining order motion before Judge Davila in California, Tesla filed yet another lawsuit in Federal Court against Matthews. Tesla's latest complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California is also meritless and appears to be nothing more than Tesla's latest bullying tactic against Matthews. Matthews will vigorously defend this additional lawsuit while pursuing in parallel claims against Tesla for its wrongful conduct.
Over 25 years ago, before Tesla even existed as a company, Matthews' engineers began the development of breakthrough technology that forms the basis of its DBE solutions which streamline production of lithium-ion batteries and significantly reduce production costs of electric vehicles. It is Matthews' extensive research and development in this area that led to U.S. Patent No. 12,136,727 – not Tesla's. Five years ago, Tesla came to Matthews seeking engineering solutions and access to our valuable intellectual property and trade secrets as well as our global engineering talent.
Matthews, celebrating its 175th year of continuous operation, will continue to vigorously defend against Tesla's unfounded assault on its rights to sell – and further develop – its innovative technology.

Matthews International Says "On Friday, February 14, 2025, U.S. District Court Judge Issued An Order Denying Tesla's Request For A Temporary Restraining Order Attempting To Block Matthews' Right To Sell Its Innovative DBE Offerings. Within Hours Of Arguing The Temporary Restraining Order Motion In California, Tesla Filed Yet Another Lawsuit In Federal Court Against Matthews."

Matthews International Announces Board Chair Alvaro Garcia-Tunon To Retire, New Director To Be Appointed in the Near-Term

Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MATW#NASDAQ">MATW</a>) has announced its intent to sell the remaining operations within its SGK Brand Solutions segment, which includes its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43725508/matthews-international-to-sell-remaining-operating-businesses-within-sgk-brand-solutions-for-50-mi" rel="noreferrer noopener">European roto-gravure packaging and surface businesses.</a>
Under the letter of intent terms, the company will receive $50 million, primarily in cash, to reduce its debt. This follows a previously announced $350 million transaction for selling its SGK interests, reinforcing Matthews&#8217; strategic shift and financial restructuring.
The transaction will provide Matthews International with additional liquidity to reduce debt, bringing the total upfront consideration for the SGK Brand Solutions divestiture to $400 million. The segment is valued at over $600 million. Once the new entity is fully integrated and the company divests its operating software investment, the total realized value is expected to exceed $700 million.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, buyer financing, and customary regulatory approvals.
&#8220;The sale of the remaining operating businesses within SGK is another step toward a more streamlined business structure and further evidence of our commitment to unlocking the value of our businesses,&#8221; stated Joseph Bartolacci, Chief Executive Officer of Matthews International.
Bartolacci also emphasized that the Board&#8217;s review of strategic alternatives for the company&#8217;s business portfolio remains ongoing, focusing on maximizing shareholder value.
