Note 6. Investments (continued) On May 1, 2025, the Company contributed its SGK Business to a newly-formed entity, Propelis, in exchange for consideration which included 40% of the common equity of Propelis and a $50,000 preferred equity investment in Propelis. The Company initially recognized these investments at fair value, which totaled $263,000 ($213,000 equity-method and $50,000 preferred equity investment). The Company will subsequently adjust the carrying amount of its equity-method investment for its share of earnings and losses reported by the investee, distributions received, and other-than-temporary impairments. The Company recognizes its portion of the earnings or losses for its equity-method investment in Propelis on a three-month lag to ensure consistency and timely filing of the Company’s financial statements. As a result, the Company has not recorded earnings or losses for its investment in Propelis during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed the disposal of its investment in Liquid X Printed Metals Inc. (“Liquid X”), a private company specializing in ink technologies. The Company's investment in Liquid X was previously written-down in fiscal 2024, and had a net carrying value of zero at the time of the disposal transaction. The President and CEO of Liquid X is a former executive officer of the Company and a former member of Matthews' Board of Directors.
