Matthews International Corporation (MATW) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Matthews International Corporation can drive more sales from its current customer base, which is the core of Market Penetration. This means pushing existing products deeper into established markets, like the funeral homes and cemeteries they already serve.

The cremation product sales focus is key, given that cremation now holds a 60% preference worldwide. This preference is a massive tailwind for the Memorialization segment, which is where Matthews cremation products reside. For the full Fiscal Year 2025, which ended September 30, 2025, the Memorialization segment brought in revenues of $809.5 million, compared to $829.7 million in Fiscal Year 2024. Still, the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 showed a positive trend, with segment revenues hitting $209.6 million versus $196.8 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2024, representing growth of 6.5%. This quarterly growth reflects the benefit of the recent acquisition and higher sales volumes for bronze memorials, alongside inflationary price realization.

To capture more of this existing market, Matthews International is integrating The Dodge Company's offerings. Matthews Memorialization acquired The Dodge Company for $57 million in May 2025. This move immediately integrates The Dodge Company's embalming chemicals into the existing Memorialization sales network, allowing you to cross-sell a more comprehensive suite of products to current funeral home accounts. The goal here is to increase the wallet share from each existing customer relationship.

Here's a look at the Memorialization segment's recent revenue performance, showing the impact of the existing business and the new addition:

Period End Date	Memorialization Segment Revenue	Year-over-Year Change
Fiscal Year 2025 (Ended 9/30/2025)	$809.5 million	Down about 2.5% from FY2024
Q4 2025 (July - Sept 2025)	$209.6 million	Up 6.5% from Q4 2024
Q3 2025 (April - June 2025)	$203.7 million	Slightly up from Q3 2024's $202.6 million

For the Industrial Technologies customers, driving adoption of the MPERIA control platform is a direct market penetration play. This platform is the differentiated hardware that manages a fleet of printers using a single, operator-friendly touchscreen user interface. The strategy here is to increase the attach rate of the MPERIA system and ensure high utilization of the required proprietary ink, which builds a recurring revenue stream.

To capture greater market share in the bronze and granite memorials space within the existing customer base, dynamic pricing strategies are being implemented. This means adjusting prices based on demand, competitive positioning, or customer segment to maximize revenue capture on every sale. The Memorialization segment's offerings include:

• Bronze and granite memorials.
• Caskets.
• Cremation equipment and related services.
• Embalming chemicals (post-Dodge acquisition).

Finance: draft the projected revenue uplift from cross-selling Dodge products to the top 100 existing Memorialization accounts by next Tuesday.

Matthews International Corporation (MATW) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Matthews International Corporation can push its existing products into new territories or customer groups, which is the essence of Market Development. This strategy hinges on the company's recent structural shifts and existing segment strengths.

Leverage the 40% equity stake in Propelis to benefit from brand solutions market growth in new geographies. Matthews International secured this stake on May 1, 2025, in exchange for contributing the SGK business, along with $250 million in cash proceeds ($228 million net). Propelis is outperforming expectations, with a preliminary estimated adjusted EBITDA of $32.2 million for the period July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025. Your 40% portion of this, based on that estimate, is $12.9 million for the quarter. For the full fiscal year 2025, the consolidated adjusted EBITDA projection, including your 40% share of Propelis, was approximately $200 million.

Introduce Memorialization's cremation equipment and services to underserved international markets with rising cremation rates. Globally, the preference for cremation is noted at 60%. The Memorialization segment reported revenues of $809.5 million for fiscal year 2025, a slight drop from $829.7 million in fiscal year 2024. However, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 showed strength, with segment revenues reaching $209.6 million, a 6.5% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024's $196.8 million, though this growth reflects the recent acquisition of The Dodge Company.

Expand the Industrial Technologies segment's product identification systems into emerging markets in Asia-Pacific. While direct segment revenue for Asia-Pacific expansion isn't isolated, the divested SGK Brand Solutions segment previously saw higher sales in Asia-Pacific brand markets in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The Industrial Technologies segment's Q3 FY2025 sales were $87.9 million, a 19.4% decrease year-over-year. Still, the segment's operational efficiency is improving; its adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 10.3% in Q3 2025, up from 4.6% in Q3 2024.

Target new customer verticals, like specialized industrial manufacturers, with existing precision marking solutions. The demand signals for Industrial Technologies are present in the energy sector. Customer quotes for dry battery electrode solutions have exceeded $100 million since early February 2025. The segment's Q3 2025 EBITDA was $9 million, an improvement from $6 million in Q3 2024.

Here's a quick look at the segment performance context for fiscal 2025:

Metric	FY2025 Value	Comparison Period/Note
Consolidated Sales (FY2025)	$1.50 billion	Compared to $1.795 billion in FY2024
Memorialization Segment Revenue (FY2025)	$809.5 million	Compared to $829.7 million in FY2024
Industrial Technologies Segment Sales (Q3 FY2025)	$87.9 million	Down 19.4% year-over-year
Industrial Technologies Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Q3 FY2025)	10.3%	Up from 4.6% in Q3 FY2024
Propelis Contribution to FY2025 Adj. EBITDA	Approx. $12.9 million (Q3 est. 40% share)	Based on preliminary Q3 estimate of $32.2 million for Propelis

The potential for new market penetration relies on converting this interest into firm orders. Key areas for focus include:

• Securing production-size orders for dry battery electrode (DBE) equipment.
• Expanding the reach of precision marking systems beyond current industrial verticals.
• Integrating The Dodge Company's offerings across new international Memorialization territories.
• Capitalizing on the 60% global cremation rate trend.

Finance: review the cash flow impact of the $250 million upfront cash from the Propelis transaction by Wednesday.

Matthews International Corporation (MATW) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Matthews International Corporation is pushing new offerings into its established markets, which is the heart of Product Development in the Ansoff Matrix. This strategy relies on leveraging your existing client base-CPG companies for marking, funeral homes for memorialization-with entirely new products or services.

For context, Matthews International Corporation's total Revenues for the 2025 Fiscal Year, which ended on September 30, 2025, came in at $1.497 billion, compared to the prior fiscal year's total Revenue of $1.795 billion. The Memorialization segment, which is key to several of these developments, posted Revenues of $809.5 million for FY25, down from $829.7 million in FY24.

Segment/Metric	FY 2025 Actual (Ended Sept 30, 2025)	FY 2024 Actual	Change
Consolidated Revenue	$1.497 billion	$1.795 billion	Down over 16%
Memorialization Segment Revenue	$809.5 million	$829.7 million	Down about 2.5%
Memorialization Segment Q4 Revenue	$209.6 million	$196.8 million (Q4 FY24)	Up 6.5%
SGK Divestiture Cash Proceeds	$250 million (expected)	N/A	N/A

Commercialize the new Axian Inkjet (XIJ) technology launched in 2025 for high-speed product marking to existing CPG clients. This new MPERIA® Axian XIJ AX1000 Series printer merges the best parts of Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) systems.

Key technical specifications for the XIJ system include:

• Proprietary micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology.
• Achieves 100 DPI resolution.
• Prints at speeds up to 200 ft/min.
• Features a closed ink system, eliminating the need for make-up solvents.
• Can print up to five lines of text and 2D codes without reducing line speed.
• The system draws less than 25 watts of power.

Develop digital memorialization services and virtual cemetery planning tools for current funeral home partners. This targets the Memorialization segment, which is a leading provider of memorials, caskets, and cremation equipment. The segment's Q4 FY25 sales of $209.6 million showed growth, partly from the Dodge Company acquisition.

Introduce new, sustainable casket and urn materials to meet evolving consumer preferences in the Memorialization segment. The broader global sustainable casket and coffin market was valued at $2.3 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach $3.6 billion by 2031, growing at a 4.5% CAGR. Matthews International Corporation is a competitor in this market.

Expand the Industrial Technologies segment's software offerings for warehouse automation, even with the pending sale of that business. This segment's solutions include warehouse automation technologies, order fulfillment systems, and software. The warehouse automation business saw its sales increase in the 2025 fourth quarter. This expansion includes a new collaboration with Teradyne Inc. to advance autonomous robotic solutions and warehouse execution software. The Industrial Technologies segment also has customer quotes for dry battery electrode (DBE) technologies exceeding $100 million.

Finance: finalize the Q1 2026 software development budget allocation by end of January.

Matthews International Corporation (MATW) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Matthews International Corporation (MATW) is placing bets outside its core, stable Memorialization business, which accounted for about 54% of its revenues in fiscal year 2025. This diversification centers heavily on the Industrial Technologies segment, aiming for growth in new energy and advanced automation.

For the Dry Battery Electrode (DBE) solutions, you saw customer quote activity exceed $100 million since mid-February 2025, targeting South Korea, Europe, and North America. While this activity is strong, the conversion of this pipeline into firm orders is currently anticipated to start in fiscal 2026. This is a direct play into the new energy storage market, leveraging proprietary technology validated by a recent arbitration ruling.

Matthews International is actively developing and optimizing manufacturing processes for hydrogen fuel cell components, alongside specialty equipment for lithium-ion batteries. This work falls under the Industrial Technologies umbrella, which, despite being challenged by litigation, is part of the company's overall strategy supporting the fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance of at least $190 million.

Regarding integrating AI-driven process optimization, while a specific acquisition for this purpose isn't detailed, the strategy involves advanced automation. You see this in the new partnership between the warehouse automation business and Teradyne Inc. to develop autonomous robotic solutions, enhancing warehouse execution software capabilities. This focus on intelligent processes aligns with the broader goal of realizing annual cost synergies exceeding $50 million from streamlining efforts, including the SGK divestiture.

The partnership aspect of diversification is real; Matthews International received an order for a production-scale machine for a U.S.-based solid-state battery manufacturer, directly utilizing the DBE technology. This signals movement from quoting to actual sales in the next-generation battery space, even as the company prioritizes debt reduction following the SGK transaction, which brought in $250 million in cash upfront.

Here's a quick look at the financial scale of the Industrial Technologies focus area and related strategic moves as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025:

Metric	Value (FY2025 or Latest)
FY2025 Consolidated Sales	$1.50 billion
DBE Quote Pipeline Value	Over $100 million
FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance (Pro Forma)	At least $190 million
Net Debt (as of March 31, 2025)	$781.9 million
Target Net Leverage Ratio Post-Automation Sale	Below 3.0x
Anticipated Annual Cost Synergies (from Propelis JV)	Over $50 million

You should track these key financial indicators as Matthews International moves these diversification efforts into firm revenue streams:

• Anticipated DBE order conversion timeline: Fiscal 2026.
• Cash proceeds from SGK divestiture applied to debt: $250 million.
• Expected debt reduction from Warehouse Automation sale: Net leverage ratio below 3.0x.
• Q4 FY2025 Memorialization segment revenue growth (YoY): 6.5%.
• Year-to-date corporate cost reductions (9 months ended June 30, 2025): $4.9 million (or 11.4%).

Finance: draft the projected FY2026 revenue contribution from the Industrial Technologies segment by Friday.
