On an adjusted basis, the Pittsburgh-based firm posted a loss of $0.19 per share, falling well short of the $0.04 consensus estimate by 522.22%, as elevated Tesla litigation costs of $9.00 million, unfavorable foreign tax impacts, and a weakened Industrial Technologies segment weighed on underlying profitability. Revenue came in at $284.76 million, edging 0.80% above estimates, though total sales declined 29.1% year over year, largely reflecting the absence of SGK brand solutions revenue following that business's contribution to the Propelis joint venture. The Memorialization segment provided a measure of stability, with sales growing to $204.18 million and adjusted EBITDA margins near 19.1%, while aggressive debt reduction cut net debt to $505.67 million. Management maintained fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of at least $180.00 million, counting on dry battery electrode orders and Propelis synergy realization to support the second half.
Key Takeaways
- • Acquisition of The Dodge Company driving higher Memorialization sales
- • Higher sales volumes for caskets and cemetery memorials
- • Inflationary price realization and ongoing productivity initiatives improving operating margins
- • Net gain on divestitures of $113.2 million boosted GAAP earnings
- • Industrial Technologies segment negatively impacted by ongoing Tesla litigation and energy storage customer delays
