ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Mativ Holdings, Inc. ("Mativ" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATV) reported earnings results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Adjusted measures are reconciled to GAAP at the end of this release. Financial comparisons are versus the prior year period unless stated otherwise. Figures may not sum to total due to rounding.
Mativ First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Sales of $484.8 million decreased 3.1% year over year, and 0.2% on an organic basis
- GAAP loss was $425.5 million, GAAP EPS was $(7.82); Results included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $411.9 million ($7.57 per share) as well as $14.5 million of organizational realignment and asset impairment expenses
- Adjusted EBITDA was $37.2 million, Adjusted loss was $6.0 million, and Adjusted EPS was $(0.14), (see non-GAAP reconciliations). Adjusted EBITDA was down 19% versus the prior year, as lower SG&A expenses across both segments and higher volume/mix in our SAS segment were more than offset by higher manufacturing and distribution costs, unfavorable net selling price versus input cost performance, and lower volume/mix in our FAM segment.
Management Commentary
President and Chief Executive Officer Shruti Singhal commented, "Since stepping in to lead Mativ eight weeks ago, I have seen firsthand the role we serve as trusted partner to our customers, enabling them to solve their most complex challenges. However, this past year has been incredibly challenging for our shareholders and employees. We are simply not where we need to be operationally to navigate the current demand environment or future challenges. We are pivoting to a much higher sense of urgency across our company to act swiftly, comprehensively and decisively to undertake the necessary changes to grow market share, return to sustainable and profitable growth, and most importantly restore value to our shareholders.
Our top priority is to accelerate our pace of execution with a focus on three key areas: driving enhanced commercial execution, sharpening our efforts to de-lever the balance sheet, and conducting a strategic review of our portfolio. These actions are to ensure Mativ is focused on our highest value initiatives to enable our long-term success. We are executing against a clear strategic roadmap and are taking accelerated actions to position Mativ for profitable growth while de-levering our balance sheet and creating sustainable value for our shareholders.
On a consolidated basis, our Q1 operating results, while mixed, came in as we expected at the start of the year. Our SAS segment delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of strong year-over-year results improvements, with organic revenue growth of approximately 6% and adjusted EBITDA growth of more than 3%, while FAM performance was impacted disproportionately by the higher priced year-end inventory we sold through during Q1, as well as continued slow demand in our transportation and construction-related end markets."
