The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information for commercial and industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. The consolidated financial statements include all domestic and foreign subsidiaries in which the Company maintains an ownership interest and has operating control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Reclassifications and Revision: | |
Certain reclassifications have been made in these financial statements to adjust for bank overdrafts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. | |

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are categorized as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note 5. Debt | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company has a domestic Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. The maximum amount of borrowings available under the facility at June 30, 2014 was $500,000. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a factor ranging from .75% to 1.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The facility’s maturity is July 2018. The leverage ratio is defined as net indebtedness divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% (based on the Company’s leverage ratio) of the unused portion of the facility. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. A portion of the facility (not to exceed $30,000) is available for the issuance of trade and standby letters of credit. Outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were $305,000. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on this facility at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 2.55% and 3.05%, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||
In connection with the recent acquisition of SGK (see “Acquisitions”), on July 29, 2014 the Company entered into the first and second amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility to amend certain terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and increase the maximum amount of borrowings available under the facility from $500,000 to $900,000. Under the terms of the amended facility, the interest rate spread at June 30, 2014 of 1.25% would have increased to 1.75%. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company has entered into the following interest rate swaps: | ||||||||||||||||||
Effective Date | Amount | Fixed Interest Rate | Interest Rate Spread at June 30, 2014 | |||||||||||||||

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. The interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of the future variable interest payments under the Revolving Credit Facility which are considered probable of occurring. Based on the Company’s assessment, all of the critical terms of each of the hedges matched the underlying terms of the hedged debt and related forecasted interest payments, and as such, these hedges were considered highly effective. | ||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflected an unrealized net loss, net of unrealized gains of $787 ($480 after tax) at June 30, 2014 and an unrealized loss, net of unrealized gains, of $908 ($554 after tax) at September 30, 2013. The net unrealized gain and loss are included in shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at June 30, 2014, approximately $1,152 net unrealized loss included in AOCI is expected to be recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense over the next twelve months. | ||||||||||||||||||
At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the interest rate swap contracts were reflected as net asset and net liability on the balance sheets. The following derivatives are designated as hedging instruments: | ||||||||||||||||||

The Company maintains an equity incentive plan (the “2012 Equity Incentive Plan”) that provides for grants of stock options, restricted shares, stock-based performance units and certain other types of stock-based awards. The Company also maintains an equity incentive plan (the “2007 Equity Incentive Plan”) and a stock incentive plan (the “1992 Incentive Stock Plan”) that previously provided for grants of stock options, restricted shares and certain other types of stock-based awards. Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which has a ten-year term, the maximum number of shares available for grants or awards is an aggregate of 2,500,000. There will be no further grants under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan or the 1992 Incentive Stock Plan. At June 30, 2014, there were 2,097,550 shares reserved for future issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. All plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. | |||||||||||||||||
The option price for each stock option granted under any of the plans may not be less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Outstanding stock options are generally exercisable in one-third increments upon the attainment of pre-defined levels of appreciation in the market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, options generally vest in one-third increments after three, four and five years, respectively, from the grant date (but, in any event, not until the attainment of the market value thresholds). The options expire on the earlier of ten years from the date of grant, upon employment termination, or within specified time limits following voluntary employment termination (with the consent of the Company), retirement or death. The Company generally settles employee stock option exercises with treasury shares. With respect to outstanding restricted share grants, for grants made prior to fiscal 2013, generally one-half of the shares vest on the third anniversary of the grant, with the remaining one-half of the shares vesting in one-third increments upon attainment of pre-defined levels of appreciation in the market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. For grants made in fiscal 2013, generally one-half of the shares vest on the third anniversary of the grant, one-quarter of the shares vest in one-third increments upon the attainment of pre-defined levels of adjusted earnings per share, and the remaining one-quarter of the shares vest in one-third increments upon attainment of pre-defined levels of appreciation in the market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Additionally, restricted shares cannot vest until the first anniversary of the grant date. Unvested restricted shares generally expire on the earlier of five years from the date of grant, upon employment termination, or within specified time limits following voluntary employment termination (with the consent of the Company), retirement or death. The Company issues restricted shares from treasury shares. | |||||||||||||||||

The fair value of each restricted stock grant is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial lattice valuation model. The following table indicates the assumptions used in estimating fair value of restricted stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

Average risk free interest rate | 1.4 | % | 0.6 | % | |||||||||||||
Average expected term (years) | 2 | 2 | |||||||||||||||
The risk free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields at the date of grant. The dividend yield is based on the most recent dividend payment and average stock price over the 12 months prior to the grant date. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected term represents an estimate of the average period of time for restricted shares to vest. The option characteristics for each grant are considered separately for valuation purposes. | |||||||||||||||||
Under the Company’s Director Fee Plan, directors (except for the Chairman of the Board) who are not also officers of the Company each receive, as an annual retainer fee, either cash or shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock with a value equal to $60. The annual retainer fee paid to a non-employee Chairman of the Board is $130. Where the annual retainer fee is provided in shares, each director may elect to be paid these shares on a current basis or have such shares credited to a deferred stock account as phantom stock, with such shares to be paid to the director subsequent to leaving the Board. The value of deferred shares is recorded in other liabilities. A total of 17,005 shares had been deferred under the Director Fee Plan at June 30, 2014. Additionally, directors who are not also officers of the Company each receive an annual stock-based grant (non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted shares) with a value of $100. A total of 22,300 stock options have been granted under the plan. At June 30, 2014, 11,800 options were outstanding and vested. Additionally, 120,503 shares of restricted stock have been granted under the plan, 37,457 of which were unvested at June 30, 2014. A total of 300,000 shares have been authorized to be issued under the Director Fee Plan. | |||||||||||||||||

Note 10. Income Taxes | ||
Income tax provisions for the Company’s interim periods are based on the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was 34.1%, compared to 34.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily reflected the impact of state taxes and estimated non-deductible transaction costs related to the pending acquisition of Schawk, Inc. (“SGK”) (see Note 12), offset by lower foreign income taxes. | ||
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) of $4,346 and $4,516 on June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, all of which, if recorded, would impact the 2014 annual effective tax rate. | ||
The Company classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company included $587 in interest and penalties in the income tax provision for the nine months of fiscal 2014. Total penalties and interest accrued were $2,670 and $2,401 at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. These accruals may potentially be applicable in the event of an unfavorable outcome of uncertain tax positions. | ||
The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for those tax jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2014, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdiction generally are: | ||

Note 12. Acquisitions | |
In March 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire SGK (NYSE: SGK). SGK is a leading global brand development, activation and brand deployment company. Under the terms of the transaction, SGK shareholders will receive $11.80 cash and 0.20582 shares of Matthews’ common stock for each SGK share held. The Company completed the acquisition on July 29, 2014. Based on the closing price of Matthews’ stock on July 28, 2014, the transaction represents an implied price of $20.74 per share and a total enterprise value (which includes net outstanding debt) of approximately $606,000. A preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition has not been completed at the date of this filing given the proximity to the acquisition date. Therefore, we have not included all required disclosures related to the acquisition. | |
In April 2013, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 20% interest in Tact Group Limited (“Tact”). The Company had acquired an 80% interest in Tact in July 2009. | |
In March 2013, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 38.5% interest in Kroma Pre-Press Preparation Systems Industry & Trade, Inc. (“Kroma”), completing the option arrangement in connection with the July 2011 acquisition of a 61.5% interest in Kroma. | |
In March 2013, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 20% interest in Furnace Construction Cremators Limited (“FCC”). The Company had acquired an 80% interest in FCC in March 2010. | |
In December 2012, the Company acquired Pyramid Controls, Inc. and its affiliate, Pyramid Control Systems (collectively, “Pyramid”). Pyramid is a provider of warehouse control systems and conveyor control solutions for distribution centers. The acquisition is designed to expand Matthews' fulfillment products and services in the warehouse management market. The initial purchase price for the transaction was $24,532, plus potential additional consideration up to $3,700 based on future operating results. | |
In November 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Wetzel Holding AG, Wetzel GmbH and certain related affiliates (collectively “Wetzel”). Wetzel is a leading European provider of pre-press services and gravure printing forms, with manufacturing operations in Germany and Poland. Wetzel’s products and services are sold primary within Europe, and the acquisition is designed to expand Matthews' products and services in the global graphics imaging market. The purchase price for Wetzel was 42.6 million Euros ($54,748) on a cash-free, debt-free basis. |

Note 13. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill related to business combinations is not amortized, but is subject to annual review for impairment. In general, when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss may need to be recognized. For purposes of testing for impairment, the Company uses a discounted cash flow technique. A number of assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the discounted cash flow model to forecast operating cash flows, including sales volumes and pricing, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, working capital changes, and discount rate. The Company estimates future cash flows using volume and pricing assumptions based largely on existing customer relationships and contracts, and operating cost assumptions management believes are reasonable based on historical performance and projected future performance as reflected in its most recent operating plans and projections. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis was developed with the assistance of valuation experts and management believes it appropriately reflects the risks associated with the Company’s operating cash flows. In order to further validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of the reporting units as of the valuation date, a reconciliation of the aggregate fair values of all reporting units to market capitalization was performed using a reasonable control premium. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company performed its annual impairment review in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and determined that for all reporting units, except Graphics Imaging, the estimated fair value significantly exceeded carrying value so no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill were necessary at March 31, 2014. As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, recent economic conditions in Europe have unfavorably impacted the operating results of the Graphics Imaging business. For the Graphics Imaging reporting unit, the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, resulting in no goodwill impairment for the unit. While the Graphics Imaging reporting unit passed the first step of the impairment test, if its operating profits or another significant assumption were to deteriorate in the future, it could adversely affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Factors that could have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of the Graphics Imaging reporting unit include a further delay in the recovery of the European market, continued pricing pressure, declines in expected volumes, and an increase in discount rates. If the Company is unsuccessful in its plans to recover the profitability of this business, the estimated fair value could decline and lead to a potential goodwill impairment in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trade names with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually in the second quarter. Matthews performed a quantitative impairment evaluation of its trade names for 2014, and the test indicated the trade names were not impaired. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
