CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA Q1 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat

Interested in CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA? Here are five stocks we like better. CEWE is selling its Commercial Online Print segment to Cimpress as it sharpens its focus on its core photofinishing business. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and should deliver a gain in the mid-double-digit million euro range. The divestment is expected to lift profitability and capital efficiency, with management saying it would add about 1 percentage point to margin and around 2 percentage points to ROCE on a pro forma 2025 basis. CEWE also revised its 2026 outlook for the continuing business to EUR 780 million-EUR 810 million in revenue and EUR 85 million-EUR 91 million in EBIT. In Q1 2026, CEWE posted 1.4% revenue growth and EUR 5.6 million in EBIT, in line with plan, while photofinishing remained the main growth driver. The company also highlighted continued product innovation, including CEWE PHOTOBOOK enhancements and new digital tools for customers and retail partners. CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA (ETR:CWC) said it is moving to sharpen its focus on its core photofinishing business after signing an agreement to sell its Commercial Online Print segment to Cimpress, the owner of Vistaprint. Chief Executive Officer Thomas Mehls said the transaction, announced shortly before the company’s first-quarter earnings call, represents a major strategic shift for CEWE. The segment includes the SAXOPRINT, viaprinto and LASERLINE brands, which provide business cards, brochures, flyers and other promotional printing products. → Beyond NVIDIA: Picks-and-Shovels AI Plays with Strong Momentum “It means focus,” Mehls said. “We want to focus on our core segment, which is photo finishing.” The purchase price was not disclosed. Mehls said CEWE expects to record a gain on the disposal in the “mid double-digit million EUR range” and that the sale price is above the segment’s book value. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026. → MercadoLibre Boldly Invests in Growth: Discount Deepens Management said the sale is intended to improve profitability and capital efficiency. On a pro forma basis using 2025 figures, Mehls said removing Commercial Online Print would increase CEWE’s margin by roughly one percentage point and raise return on capital employed by about two percentage points...

Assessing Cimpress (CMPR) Valuation After Robust Q3 Results And Upgraded 2026 Guidance

Simply Wall St.

Find winning stocks in any market cycle. Join 7 million investors using Simply Wall St's investing ideas for FREE. Cimpress (CMPR) just posted a strong third quarter, reporting record adjusted EBITDA, double digit revenue growth and higher margins. The company then followed this performance with an increase to its 2026 guidance. See our latest analysis for Cimpress. The strong Q3 release and upgraded 2026 guidance have coincided with a sharp swing in sentiment, with a 26.43% 1 month share price return and a very large 1 year total shareholder return of 133.79% from a still slightly negative 5 year total shareholder return of 4.72%. This suggests momentum has picked up recently after a weaker longer term experience for shareholders. If Cimpress’s move has you thinking about what else is working in the market, this is a good moment to broaden your search with 17 top founder-led companies After a 134% 1 year total shareholder return, a share price just below the US$102.50 analyst target and an implied intrinsic discount of about 61%, the key question is simple: is Cimpress still undervalued or is the market already pricing in everything ahead? At a last close of $93.75 versus a narrative fair value of $97.50, Cimpress is framed as modestly undervalued, with that gap hinging on how future earnings unfold under a 9.19% discount rate. Read the complete narrative. There is a full earnings roadmap behind that $97.50 figure, including revenue expansion, margin shifts and a different future earnings multiple. It may be useful to consider which of those moving parts has the largest impact on the valuation. Result: Fair Value of $97.50 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, this depends on Cimpress offsetting pressure in legacy print categories and preventing higher capital spending from dragging on free cash flow and debt metrics. Find out about the key risks to this Cimpress narrative. The narrative model points to Cimpress trading 4% below a $97.50 fair value, but the P/E ratio tells a different story. At 49.9x earnings, the stock is priced far above the US Commercial Services industry at 22.1x, peers at 16.2x, and even its own 30.6x fair ratio. That gap suggests investors are paying a premium, so is the current price giving you enough room for error? See what the numbers say about this price — find out...

Cimpress (CMPR) Q3 2026 Earnings Transcript

Motley Fool

Image source: The Motley Fool. Thursday, April 30, 2026 at 8 a.m. ET Chairman and Chief Executive Officer — Robert Keane Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — Sean Quinn Robert Keane: Thanks, Meredith, and thank you to our investors for joining us today. Before Sean reviews our Q3 financial results and our guidance updates, I'll share my thoughts on the recent progress we've made on the strategic and the operational themes that we've covered in detail in our annual letter of July 29 and in our September Investor Day. Our Q3 earnings document highlights recent examples in a number of categories. First, elevated products are fueling a step function improvement in our per customer lifetime value and our wallet share. Every quarter, we're improving our ability to help millions of businesses build their brands, stand out and grow, thanks to our customized physical marketing products and branded merchandise. One metric which demonstrates our progress is that Vistaprint's variable gross profit per customer grew 13% year-over-year in Q3, and that's also our 13th consecutive quarter of growth in this metric. We see similar themes in our Upload & Print businesses as well. Second, investments in the Cimpress MCP in our manufacturing operations in cross-Cimpress fulfillment and in artificial intelligence are reducing COGS and operating expenses while increasing the velocity of new product introductions and user experience improvements. In the earnings document, we provide multiple examples of where we are leveraging our deep expertise and scale advantages in manufacturing, where we're using AI to improve customer experiences and to drive operating leverage. Also where we're using our shared software services to reduce costs and improve performance and where we are growing the collaboration between our businesses, for example, deploying shared marketing capabilities. And third, we continue to march along a clear path to fiscal 2028 adjusted EBITDA of at least $600 million and significantly lower leverage. Progress in the areas I just spoke about has allowed us to start driving down the cost of goods sold and drive up the operating efficiencies that support our previously communicated plan to achieve these financial results. Our gross profit is growing in part due to the scale advantages we have in manufacturing, new product introductions and many product...

Cimpress (CMPR) Q3 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates

Zacks

Cimpress (CMPR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.55 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.15 per share. This compares to a loss of $0.33 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +266.67%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this marketing materials maker would post earnings of $1.61 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.95, delivering a surprise of +21.12%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Cimpress, which belongs to the Zacks Consumer Services - Miscellaneous industry, posted revenues of $886.21 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.84%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $789.47 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Cimpress shares have added about 24.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%. While Cimpress has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Cimpress was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 R...

Cimpress Q3 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat

Adjusted EBITDA reached $100.5 million in Q3 — the first Q3 above $100M — while consolidated revenue rose 12% reported (4% organic) and Vistaprint’s “elevated products” drove a 13% year-over-year increase in variable gross profit per customer. Management raised fiscal 2026 guidance, targeting 9–10% reported revenue growth (4–5% organic), at least $465 million in adjusted EBITDA and roughly $130–135 million in adjusted free cash flow, and plans to largely pass higher energy/oil costs through price increases. Cimpress completed tuck-in deals (85% of Truyol and a 50% controlling stake in Mixam) expected to yield >20% returns and reiterated fiscal 2028 targets of 4–6% organic growth, ≥$600 million adjusted EBITDA and net leverage below 2.0x.

EVP and CFO Sean Quinn said Cimpress “delivered a strong third quarter,” with adjusted EBITDA of $100.5 million, up $9.8 million year-over-year.

Cimpress plc Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Management attributes performance to a 'step function' improvement in customer lifetime value, specifically citing a 13% year-over-year growth in Vistaprint's variable gross profit per customer. Operational leverage is being driven by the Cimpress Mass Customization Platform (MCP) and AI investments, which are reducing COGS and accelerating new product introduction velocity. Strategic positioning is shifting toward 'elevated products' that capture higher wallet share and improve advertising efficiency by targeting higher-value customers. The company is leveraging its manufacturing scale to drive cross-segment fulfillment, allowing for production optimizations between different Cimpress business units. Management implemented $11 million in annualized operating expense reductions late in Q3, specifically targeting Vistaprint and National Pen to drive near-term margin expansion. The acquisition strategy focuses on 'low-risk, high-return' tuck-ins that marry specialized customer experiences with Cimpress's large-scale manufacturing and purchasing power. Growth in the Upload & Print segment was bolstered by order count expansion and regional election volume in Europe, particularly in France. Management remains confident in achieving its fiscal 2028 adjusted EBITDA target of at least $600 million, supported by the roll-off of plant start-up costs and ongoing manufacturing network optimizations. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2028 target of at least $600 million in adjusted EBITDA, noting that current progress reduces the reliance on organic growth to hit this goal. Free cash flow conversion is expected to improve significantly in fiscal 2027 as capital expenditures stabilize and cash taxes decrease compared to fiscal 2026 levels. Updated fiscal 2026 guidance factors in anticipated cost headwinds from recent increases in energy and oil prices, which management plans to partially offset via pricing. Net leverage is projected to decline to approximately 2.5x by the end of fiscal 2027 and below 2.0x by fiscal 2028, subject to future capital allocation decisions. The company incurred $3.3 million in production start-up costs during Q3 related to the expansion of its North American manufacturing network. Severe weather and power outages in North America dampened Vistaprint's revenue in January and February, though management noted a definitive acceleration in March....

FY2026 Q3 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 62 paragraphs
Operator

Welcome to the Cimpress Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 earnings call. I will now introduce Meredith Burns, Vice President of Investor Relations and Sustainability. Please go ahead.

Meredith Burns

Thank you, Lisa, and thank you everyone for joining us. With us today are Robert Keane, our Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, and Sean Quinn, EVP and Chief Financial Officer. We appreciate the time that you've dedicated to understand our results, commentary, and outlook. This live Q&A session will last about 45 minutes or so, and we'll answer both pre-submitted and live questions. You can submit questions live via the questions and answers box at the bottom left on the screen. Before we start, I will note that in this session, we'll make statements about the future. Our actual results may differ materially from these statements due to risk factors that are outlined in detail in our SEC filings and the earnings document we published yesterday on our website.

Meredith Burns

We also have published non-GAAP reconciliations for our financial results on our IR website, and we invite you to read all of those. Now, I will turn things over to Robert Keane.

Robert Keane

Thanks, Meredith, and thank you to our investors for joining us today. Before Sean reviews our Q3 financial results and our guidance updates, I'll share my thoughts on the recent progress we've made on the strategic and the operational themes that we've covered in detail in our annual letter of July 29th and in our September Investor Day. Our Q3 earnings document highlights recent examples in a number of categories. First, elevated products are fueling a step function improvement in our per customer lifetime value and our wallet share. Every quarter, we're improving our ability to help millions of businesses build their brands, stand out, and grow thanks to our customized physical marketing products and branded merchandise.

Robert Keane

One metric which demonstrates our progress is that Vistaprint's variable gross profit per customer grew 13% year-over-year in Q3, and that's also our 13th consecutive quarter of growth in this metric. We see similar themes in our Upload and Print businesses as well. Second, investments in the Cimpress MCP, in our manufacturing operations, in cross-Cimpress fulfillment, and in artificial intelligence are reducing COGS and operating expenses while increasing the velocity of new product introductions and user experience improvements. In the earnings document, we provide multiple examples of where we are leveraging our deep expertise and scale advantages in manufacturing, where we're using AI to improve customer experiences and to drive operating leverage. Where we're using our shared software services to reduce costs and improve performance, and where we are growing the collaboration between our businesses, for example, deploying shared marketing capabilities.

Robert Keane

Third, we continue to march along a clear path to fiscal 2028 adjusted EBITDA of at least $600 million and significantly lower leverage. Progress in the areas I just spoke about has allowed us to start driving down the cost of goods sold and drive up the operating efficiencies that support our previously communicated plan to achieve these financial results. Our gross profit is growing in part due to the scale advantages we have in manufacturing, new product introductions, and many production optimizations within our plants and between Cimpress businesses. We expect more financial benefits in fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028 as larger COGS efficiencies from ongoing manufacturing network optimizations kick in. Our new production facility startup costs, which are currently burdening our P&L, shift to incremental profitability thanks to volume growth.

Robert Keane

Additionally, we drove advertising efficiency in Q3 while continuing to grow revenue and gross profit. We expect more here in the coming years as we launch more elevated products that grow our wallet share with higher value customers. We also implemented several OpEx reductions this quarter that will generate annualized savings of, excuse me, of $11 million between Vistaprint and National Pen. In last year's earnings, I'm sorry, in last night's earnings release, we announced two tuck-in acquisitions that we made in April. The first is PrintBrothers' acquisition of 85% of Truyol. They're the Spanish leader for elevated brand building print, packaging, and signage products. This acquisition allows us to expand our product offering into higher end products while capturing immediate cost synergies through materials and shipping savings, which we bring due to our much larger purchasing power.

Robert Keane

Second, we've taken a 50% stake with operating control in Mixam. That will marry Mixam's market-leading customer experience from books, catalogs, and magazines with the Print Group's manufacturing strength and their experience for these products. Both of these are in our Upload and Print segment. We see them as great examples of where we can allocate capital to tuck-in acquisitions. We expect each of these acquisitions to generate base case returns on our capital well in excess of 20%. They continue a string of about a half dozen acquisitions within our Upload and Print segments over the past three years. They are positioning us to bring our mass customization capabilities into the core of the very large markets, which still remain offline with traditional and less competitive production techniques.

Robert Keane

We always horse race the capital we allocate to acquisitions against share repurchases, against debt re-reduction, and against organic capabilities development. We generally have a higher hurdle rate for acquisitions given their typically higher risk. Our experience in these particular types of tuck-ins is that they are proving to be relatively low risk because of the attractive prices we're paying relative to the post-synergy cash flow. In other words, they're proving to be relatively low risk, high return capital outlays. To sum it up, we're executing well, and we remain confident in our multi-year plan to significantly grow profits and to significantly reduce our net leverage. We are strengthening the value we deliver to customers, increasing operational efficiency, and accelerating the velocity with which we drive these improvements.

Robert Keane

We still have more work to do to deliver the shareholder returns we expect, but we are on the right path, and our path is clear. I'll turn things over to Sean to discuss the financial results of the quarter and our outlook.

Sean Quinn

Great. Thanks a lot, Robert, and thanks everyone for joining us today. Cimpress delivered a strong third quarter. Our adjusted EBITDA surpassed $100 million for the first time in a Q3 period, growing 11% year-over-year. With strong year-to-date execution, we're again raising our fiscal 2026 revenue and profit guidance, which I'll go through in a moment. Consolidated Q3 revenue grew 12% on a reported basis and 4% on an organic constant currency basis. Reported revenue was again aided by currency tailwinds and also the acquisition in our PrintBrothers segment that we completed during the second quarter. Vistaprint revenue grew 7% on a reported basis and 3% on an organic constant currency basis. The expected decline in business cards and stationery was more than offset by growth in our elevated products.

Sean Quinn

As we noted in last night's release, severe weather in North America dampened results during January and February, and then we saw an acceleration in growth in March. Our Upload and Print businesses combined organic constant currency revenue grew 8%, driven by order count growth and cross-Cimpress fulfillment, with support also from regional elections. Reported revenue for these businesses grew 26% combined with currency benefits and again, the tuck-in acquisition that we made in Q2, which contributed $15 million to reported revenue during the quarter. Turning to profitability, adjusted EBITDA was $100.5 million in Q3, an increase of $9.8 million year-over-year. Q3 consolidated gross profit grew 10%, the result of revenue growth, cost improvements, benefits from currency, and again, the tuck-in acquisition.

Sean Quinn

We did have $3.3 million of production startup costs for the expansion of our North American production network, which weighed on EBITDA, although that was mostly offset by currency benefits of $2.7 million in the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow declined to $23.9 million to an outflow of $54.6 million. As I think most of you know, Q3 for us is typically a seasonal working capital outflow. That working capital outflow was higher this year, mostly due to timing, but also unfavorable currency movements on working capital. Cash taxes were also about $5 million higher compared to last year. From a balance sheet perspective, net leverage at the end of Q3 was 3.0x our trailing twelve months EBITDA.

Sean Quinn

That's as calculated under our credit agreement. That's consistent with last quarter, despite the fact that we repurchased approximately 288,000 shares at an average price of $76 per share in Q3. Maybe just as a point of reference, we have not purchased any shares in April. Turning now to our guidance, we again raised our revenue and profit expectations for fiscal 2026 based on the strong Q3 results, also our expectations for the remainder of the year. It's worth noting that we do expect to experience cost increases associated with recent increases in energy and oil prices. That is factored into this updated guidance.

Sean Quinn

For the full year, we now expect revenue growth of 9%-10% after incorporating the recent acquisitions and currency benefits. That translates to 4%-5% growth on an organic constant currency basis. We expect net income of at least $87 million and adjusted EBITDA of at least $465 million. We expect operating cash flow of approximately $298 million-$303 million. Adjusted free cash flow of approximately $130 million-$135 million. We expect net leverage to be at or below 3.0x by the end of fiscal 2026. That is also a slight improvement from our prior guidance. As we start to look now ahead to fiscal 2027, we're gonna provide more specifics with our year-end release in July.

Sean Quinn

We thought it was appropriate to start to share a little bit more as we expect to take another significant step towards our fiscal 2028 targets next year in terms of adjusted EBITDA growth. We're still finalizing our plans for fiscal 2027, but we do expect adjusted EBITDA growth next year to be in excess of 10%. We also expect to have meaningful growth in adjusted free cash flow, and I think it's worth spending a few minutes here. Our free cash flow conversion this year was lower. That was expected based on the guidance that we have had in place throughout the year. Capital expenditures and cash taxes were both higher this year. There's also some timing in working capital. I just mentioned that was unfavorable for Q3. From a working capital perspective, there's nothing structural to that.

Sean Quinn

It's really, for us, it's not unusual to have some variability there. In fiscal 2027, we expect the growth that we'll have in adjusted EBITDA that I just referenced, greater than 10%, to have much more flow-through to free cash flow. I'll just go through a couple components there to set expectations. Capital expenditures we expect to still be at similar levels to this year as we complete the ongoing projects that we have in place. We do expect capitalized software to be relatively flat. We expect cash taxes to be lower next year, and we expect working capital inflows to be more favorable. When you put that all together, we expect to have significant free cash flow growth in fiscal 2027.

Sean Quinn

As Robert noted earlier, we do remain confident in our ability to deliver our fiscal 2028 targets, which I'll again reiterate as 4%-6% organic constant currency revenue growth, at least $200 million in net income, adjusted EBITDA of at least $600 million, adjusted EBITDA to free cash flow conversion of approximately 45%. Just doing the math, that implies at least $270 million of free cash flow. From a leverage perspective, we expect to exit fiscal 2027 with net leverage of approximately 2.5x, and exit fiscal 2028 with net leverage below 2.0x, subject to capital allocation choices. Each quarter this year, we've provided increased visibility to the pillars of how we'll meet those fiscal 2028 targets. Of course, you know, we still have more to go.

Sean Quinn

If you go back to our September investor day, I went through a session that walked from fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA to the at least $600 million in fiscal 2028. In each of those pillars, we've made good progress. I just wanted to run through them each quickly now. Starting with the growth in fiscal 2026, our latest guidance that I just went through is now $15 million higher than the guidance that we started the year with. We still feel good about the $70 million-$80 million in efficiency gains we had in that bridge, the midpoint there, $75 million, that we expect to have exiting fiscal 2027. We touched on some tangible examples of these initiatives in last night's earnings and throughout the call so far today.

Sean Quinn

Just to reiterate, we have meaningful COGS efficiencies from manufacturing projects from our work with focused production hubs and cross-Cimpress fulfillment. From an AI standpoint, we're seeing productivity improvements, and that extends well beyond the examples that we provided in the letter. Increased collaboration between Vistaprint, National Pen, and BuildASign, including shared software services and marketing capabilities is starting to take hold. Other operating cost efficiencies, including the $11 million of annualized cost reductions that we've already actioned between Vistaprint and National Pen late in Q3, as we talked about as well in the release last night. Our work on this one's not done in terms of the overall cost savings, but we remain confident in our ability to deliver this pillar, and these are clear examples of our progress.

Sean Quinn

The next pillar is the planned start-up cost, which we expect to roll off as planned. That one is just math. On the M&A front, we touched on this in the letter as well, but with the three tuck-in acquisitions this year, we expect contribution in fiscal 2027 to be approximately 125 million of revenue and $13 million of adjusted EBITDA. That's well above the $10 million of adjusted EBITDA over a two-year period that was in that bridge. We're ahead of plan there. Currency contribution is also tracking ahead of plan as well. The original contribution of which was set at $10 million total for fiscal 2027 and 2028 combined in that bridge. We're tracking ahead of that.

Sean Quinn

The last pillar was just mathematically, what do you have to believe from organic growth contribution to get to at least $600 million of adjusted EBITDA? When you update for everything I just stepped through, that leaves a minimal contribution needed from organic growth over the next few years to get to at least $600 million of adjusted EBITDA. Our results for this year and the momentum that we're building based on the progress that Robert outlined earlier leaves us confident here as well. Achieving these fiscal 2028 targets will generate very meaningful per share free cash flow growth and also significantly reduce our net leverage. From the board down through our teams, we're laser-focused on this. With that, Meredith, let's turn it over to questions.

Meredith Burns

Fantastic. Thanks, Sean. As a reminder, you can submit questions during this webcast via the questions and answers box at the bottom left of the screen. We did have a few pre-submitted questions, and then we'll jump into live questions as we get them. Our 1st question is for you, Sean. Can you explain why currency is benefiting operating income and EBITDA, but it had a negative impact on free cash flow this quarter?

Sean Quinn

Truly. That's been a theme throughout the year that currency has benefited adjusted EBITDA. As I just said in the remarks on our forward-looking guidance as we really for fiscal 2028, but it's true for fiscal 2027 as well. We continue to expect currency to be favorable year-over-year in 2027 and 2028 from an adjusted EBITDA perspective. That really just has to do with the direction of travel of our main currencies relative to the dollar. The euro being our largest net exposure from an adjusted EBITDA perspective. We, you know, we have a currency hedging program where we average in over each quarter for some currencies over a two-year period, for some currencies over a one-year period, depending on our forecast visibility.

Sean Quinn

That means that as rates change, there's a little bit of a delayed, a delayed effect of when we either benefit or get hurt from those currency changes. Right now, you know, we're certainly in this, in this period of getting help from that. That's, that's the story from an adjusted EBITDA perspective. Like I said, because we average in each quarter and we contract out for our, for our largest exposures over a two-year period, that gives us visibility also to, you know, what we expect in fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028, which will continue in the direction of positive impact. We mentioned that the currency impact on working capital was negative. That operates under a little bit of a different dynamic.

Sean Quinn

What we saw in Q3, I mean, just to do the kind of maybe an illustration of how the math works. You know, we have at the end of a December quarter, we typically have, you know, a bunch of liabilities in our working capital that then get flushed out in Q3, and the opposite is true, you know, in Q2 and Q4. If you think about it, at the end of December of 2024, I don't have the rates in front of me, but I think the EUR, that's our largest exposure, the EUR was at, I think 1.04 or thereabout. At the end of December of 2025, it was somewhere around 1.16.

Sean Quinn

If you imagine you have, just for illustration, EUR 100 million of liabilities that'll flush through in Q3, at the end of December 2024, that was worth $104 million. At the end of December 2025, that was worth $116 million, in US dollar terms, that has a negative impact when you have an outflow quarter from working capital. The opposite is true as well, right? In Q2, because it's a large working capital inflow quarter, also for Q4, the quarter that we're now in, is typically a large working capital inflow quarter. There we benefit from that dynamic. That's all normal stuff.

Sean Quinn

Over the course of a year tends to even out and certainly over a multiyear period. That was the dynamic that we had in Q3.

Meredith Burns

Thank you, Sean Quinn. All right. I am going to, I'm gonna go to Robert for the next question. Robert, here's some more math. This is a fun call. We got a lot of math. Robert, am I calculating correctly that you paid $35 million for 3 acquisitions that are expected to yield $13 million of adjusted EBITDA next year? Is that less than 3x forward EBITDA, or am I missing something?

Robert Keane

Your math is correct. But it is important to note that math is based on our consolidated reporting, and we have two of the acquisitions where we purchased less than 100% because the founder of each of those has stayed active and kept his investment or each of their investments in the businesses they founded. And we really like that. It creates great aligned incentives for both Cimpress and the founder. As we noted, we bought 85% of Truyol. We expect to pay for the full acquisition amount the 85% over three years. So not of all that is upfront, but it will be a small use of cash in fiscal 2027 and 2028. We also bought 50% of Mixam.

Robert Keane

The implied valuation is higher if you're calculating off the enterprise value of 100% ownership. That being said, even if you adjust for that, we paid very attractive multiples of both profit, of EBITDA, of cash flow, and our base case returns on the capital are also very attractive with a relatively short payback.

Meredith Burns

Thank you, Robert. Okay, question for Sean on leverage. Sean, how will you be able to keep net leverage at 3x trailing twelve-month EBITDA at the end of Q4 when you have already spent $25 million on M&A in April and your free cash flow guidance has come down?

Sean Quinn

Mm-hmm. Yeah. The way it works under our credit agreement is we're able to take credit for trailing 12 months EBITDA when we do an acquisition. We don't get just what, you know, what is in our reported results, but we look back over a 12-month period. That makes sense. We also get to take pro forma benefit from any synergies that we expect to have. There we're limited to the things that are under our control. That tends to be the things that are on the cost side, you know, procurement savings and the like. The updated guidance that we provided for at least $465 million, that implies further year-over-year EBITDA growth in Q4.

Sean Quinn

Obviously that plays into the leverage expectations for the end of Q4 as well. If you do the math on our full year free cash flow guidance, you know, as is typical, like Q4 is a large free cash flow quarter. We do expect significant free cash flow in Q4 as well. At the midpoint of the guidance range, it's somewhere around $80 million if you just do that math. That's how you get to the leverage guidance that we provided.

Sean Quinn

Just referencing back to the prior question as well that Robert just answered, we did pay less than 3 times for the recent M&A because of the dynamics that Robert just went through.

Meredith Burns

Thank you. Sean, I'm gonna stick with you on this next one. We get this question every quarter. Can you please comment on each segment's revenue performance in the month of April versus last year? What trends have you noticed?

Sean Quinn

Yeah. We try not to get into too much detail on, you know, a particular month's performance. We'll stay true to that here. Yeah, I think, I mean, I think the main takeaways and, you know, I can understand why this question gets asked, especially in the current environment. I think the key takeaways are, one, you know, we felt comfortable increasing our guidance for the full year. Obviously, we only have one quarter left, that's based on what we're seeing in April. It's also based on our forecast for the rest of the year. I think that's a signal of confidence.

Sean Quinn

I know that there's obviously a lot of focus right now on the health of SMBs, the health of consumers from a demand perspective. I'll just say we haven't seen a change there in April. We feel good about the updated guidance that we provided. I'll just also reiterate the guidance that we have provided, which is increased for revenue and profitability, does also consider increased fuel and energy costs in that guidance. You know, we will have some of that in Q4.

Meredith Burns

Thanks, Sean. Robert, I'm gonna shift to you for the next one. You bought some shares this quarter, and your board authorized more purchases. That was in March, for anybody who missed it, $200 million authorization that replaced the last one. Will there be more repurchases in Q4?

Robert Keane

We don't provide forward guidance about repurchases. I will describe how we think about it. It's the same as we've said many times before. First of all, we do want to repurchase shares when we think they are undervalued, and we do think our shares are still undervalued, although less so than earlier this year. Second, like any capital allocation, we horse race share repurchases against other options, and we're in a cycle of higher than normal CapEx, where we see excellent returns. As we discussed a few moments ago, we have some very attractive tuck-in M&A acquisition opportunities. We just have to take those into account. Third, just the cash available, we are solving for a number of different things in fiscal 2026.

Robert Keane

Sean's talked about higher cash taxes, unfavorable net working capital timing, and very importantly, our commitment to deleverage, plus the normal seasonality of business. We do have a very strong balance sheet, strong liquidity. We think we'd be able to continue to have attractive capital allocation opportunities in the future. We certainly will continue to look at share buybacks as a use of that. Again, I would go back to that leverage once again because we have called for our net leverage to be below, at or below 3x by the end of this quarter. It's really something that's important to us to achieve.

Meredith Burns

Thanks, Robert. Okay, Sean, a question for you. Based on everything you went through at the opening of the call, why aren't you updating your FY 2028 targets at this point? I know you said there's still work to do on the cost savings piece, every other part of that bridge was favorable.

Sean Quinn

Yeah. I think it's a fair question and fully expected that question. If you take a step back, you know, we put these targets in place I think the first time we started to talk about them was in Robert's letter to investors at the end of July, so we're talking about less than one year ago. That was just after we finished a year where we did a little over $430 million in adjusted EBITDA. At the time, you know, we were basically saying that we'd grow our adjusted EBITDA around 40%, I think it's, yeah, 39% or something over the next three years. Also with, you know, pretty sizably improved free cash flow conversion on that as well.

Sean Quinn

That's a lot of growth, just to keep things in perspective. When we put the targets in place, we did it as this at-least framework. You know, we had that in the guidance that we've used throughout this year as well. That, of course, means could be higher. From the board down through the management team, we're completely committed to delivering what we said we would do. Hopefully, it's clear from what we outlined at the beginning of the call earlier that we're making good progress, and we're confident that we'll meet or exceed those targets. You know, we still have a long way to go.

Sean Quinn

Our updated guidance for fiscal 2026 that we just went through is $465 million, yeah, we still have a long way to go to make sure that we deliver against the at least $600 million over the next, you know, two or so years. In our view, I think if you, if you just model out what the free cash flow per share would be in fiscal 2028 based on the targets that we have, and also, you know, with knowledge that that would also imply, you know, significantly lower leverage, and that's part of our targets as well. I don't think that these fiscal 2028 targets are today reflected in how we're valued.

Sean Quinn

We'll keep updating each quarter on our progress, but we're going to leave our fiscal 2028 targets as they are. There are certainly areas that we're ahead of plan based on what I shared earlier. I think the main takeaway for investors should be that the probability of achievement has continued to increase each quarter based on the progress that we're making and the specific examples that we've shared. It is an at-least framework, so we're certainly, you know, we certainly could end higher. But we have two years to go, and we don't want to get ahead of ourselves because we want to be sure that if we provide a committed target that we, you know, we're sure that we hit it.

Meredith Burns

Great. Thank you, Sean. Sean, I'm gonna stick with you for the next few questions here. First up, are you able to estimate how much of a revenue benefit the Upload and Print business has got from regional elections during Q3?

Sean Quinn

We don't. We didn't break that out. Every quarter there's, you know, there's always some, you know, change in activity. This quarter there happened to be in some countries in Europe some nice volume growth attached to regional elections, and that tends to impact, you know, a few products in particular. You know, it wasn't, like, the dominant trend by any stretch, but it definitely was a help, including in France. We were not gonna break out that specifically. You know, for posters, flyers, you know, there was definitely some help there. It's sometimes hard to break, like the.

Sean Quinn

It's not like, you know, we can see it, overall in the volume, but it's not like we're scanning the content of every order and then trying to categorize that as if we're an election or not. So that's why it's a little bit difficult to break that out, and we don't seek to do that externally. Definitely helped this quarter.

Meredith Burns

Thanks, Sean. Next question for you. Can you provide more color on the weather disruptions to Vistaprint's revenue in January and February?

Sean Quinn

Yeah. If you'll recall, in each of January and February, there were some very significant snowstorms. You know, typically, like, you know, if we'll look at bookings for, you know, each day on a map, right? You can see that, you can see that by state, year-over-year trends, et cetera. You can get more specific than that, you know, if you really wanna drill down even further geographically. You know, imagine you're looking at a map, and you can see, you know, a bunch of green and red based on, you know, year-over-year bookings.

Sean Quinn

Typically what would happen when there is a severe snowstorm is, you know, all the, you know, the impacted states that you might expect if it was happening in the Northeast or if it was happening in the Midwest or whatever, you know, you could see very clearly in that visualization the states that are impacted. Yeah, that's pretty normal stuff. One of the things that was different about the large storm that hit in January was that it also, across the Southeast, you know, there were significant issues with the, you know, electrical grid freezing and winds and freezing rain.

Sean Quinn

There were a lot of states where there were significant power outages, and of course, that impacts people's both focus on coming to Vistaprint in this case, and ordering what they need. Also ability, right? 'Cause they were they had power outages. We can see when that happens, we can see it very clearly, what states are impacted or whatever. That was just a broader impact than what we would typically see when there's a snowstorm in the winter months. That's what we're referring to, and it's a real thing. It has a real impact. That dampened the results in January.

Sean Quinn

There were some similar storms in February that were pretty severe. Then as we got to the towards the end of February and then into March, you know, in Vistaprint, we saw a definitive acceleration in results, leading to overall a strong quarter for Vistaprint.

Meredith Burns

Thanks, Sean. Okay. Can you provide more color on the cost increases that you expect from energy prices, and will you look to offset that with price increases?

Sean Quinn

Yeah. Well, there's, obviously, you know, energy prices or oil prices are at some point an input to, you know, a lot of our either raw materials or logistics costs, inbound freight, outbound freight. There's certainly impact. Some of that impact is a little bit delayed, depending on the respective supply chain for the particular material. On the logistics side of things, again, for inbound freight, outbound logistics, that's a little bit more, you know, real time. You know, the way a lot of our, for example, outbound logistics work is that, you know, contractually there's a fuel surcharge that is a variable that, you know, can go up or down depending on, you know, where oil prices are and if they're outside of a certain bound.

Sean Quinn

Anyway, so the cost, you know, the cost increases, you know, will happen, they're real, and I think that's to be expected. We do expect that in large part, you know, we would be looking to pass these on from a price standpoint, and to the extent that, you know, the increase specifically in oil prices and the flow through that impact that has on logistics costs, especially for outbound logistics, that also then, you know, as hopefully those prices at some point normalize, that we would then, you know, bring that back down. So, you know, there's certainly, we'll have some cost impact in Q4. You know, it's not overly material, but it's notable.

Sean Quinn

We do expect that much of that will be offset by price increases, yes.

Meredith Burns

Thank you, Sean. That brings us to the end of our pre-submitted and live questions. I'm gonna turn the call back over to Robert to wrap things up.

Robert Keane

Thanks, Meredith. The key takeaways from our announcement today are we've raised our FY 2026 revenue and profit guidance for the second time. We certainly expect to end the year, the fiscal year with net leverage that is more favorable than our prior guidance. Strategically and operationally, we're progressing in key areas that I discussed briefly today, that we covered in much more detail in my July letter to investors and in our September Investor day. At the top level, what we continue to do is enable millions of businesses to build their brand, stand out, and grow by leveraging our core competitive strengths to manufacturing and supply chain excellence, and by continuing to improve the customer experience and to drive efficiency gains.

Robert Keane

Our ongoing progress reinforces our confidence in our path to fiscal 2028 EBITDA of at least $600 million and approximately 45% free cash flow conversion, coupled with significant reductions in net leverage. Achieving that result should really drive significant returns for long-term investors. I'll wrap up by saying thank you again for joining the call, and thank you for continuing to entrust your capital with us. Have a great day.

Operator

This does conclude today's program. Thank you all for joining, and you may disconnect.

Cimpress (CMPR) Earnings Expected to Grow: What to Know Ahead of Next Week's Release

Zacks

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Cimpress (CMPR) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This marketing materials maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +145.5%. Revenues are expected to be $861.75 million, up 9.2% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.45% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's pre...

Carter's Q1 Earnings on The Horizon: What Should Investors Know?

Zacks

Carter's, Inc. CRI is expected to report top-line growth when it reports first-quarter 2026 results. The branded marketer of apparel, exclusively for babies and children in North America, is likely to witness a decline in the bottom line in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $662 million, indicating a rise of 5.1% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. The consensus estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at seven cents per share, down from 30 cents per share 30 days ago. This also indicates a decline from 66 cents in the year-earlier quarter. The company has a negative trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, CRI’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.8%. Carter’s is likely to have benefited from its leading position in the baby and children’s apparel market, with strong brand recognition, a wide distribution network and a focus on quality and value-driven products. Also, measures like improved pricing, optimized inventory management and robust e-commerce capabilities have been acting as tailwinds. The company’s direct-to-consumer strategy strengthens its position by boosting margins, deepening customer relationships and generating valuable consumer insights. Carter’s has been undertaking significant productivity and cost optimization efforts. The company is streamlining its operations by reducing organizational complexity, rightsizing its workforce and simplifying its product assortment. Additionally, Carter’s benefits from a diversified distribution network that includes retail stores, e-commerce platforms and wholesale partnerships with major department stores and online retailers. Product innovation remains another key focus area for CRI. The company has been ramping up investments in product development to improve the quality, design and overall appeal of its offerings. The strong performance of core categories, especially baby apparel, underscores the effectiveness of this strategy. By consistently delivering better and more compelling products, the company is reinforcing its ability to command higher prices while also enhancing overall brand perception. For the first quarter of 2026, Carter’s anticipates double-digit sales growth in the International segment, largely driven by continued strength in Mexico an...

Snap-on Pre-Q1 Earnings Snapshot: Time to Buy the Stock?

Zacks

Snap-on Incorporated SNA is likely to witness growth in its top and bottom lines when it reports first-quarter 2026 earnings on April 23, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.18 billion, which indicates a rise of 3.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $4.68 per share, which indicates growth of 3.8% from the year-ago quarter’s registered numbers. The consensus mark has remained unchanged over the past 30 days. The company has a negative trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 0.1%, on average. It delivered an earnings surprise of 1.7% in the last reported quarter. SNA's first-quarter fiscal 2026 results are expected to reflect stable demand across its core automotive repair markets, supported by the ongoing aging of the global vehicle parc and rising vehicle complexity. The company has consistently emphasized that aging vehicles require more frequent maintenance and specialized repairs, driving sustained demand for professional tools, diagnostics, and repair solutions. Continued strength in technician activity and repair shop utilization is expected to have supported sales momentum across the Tools and Repair Systems & Information (RS&I) segments. Strength in the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) segment is also expected to have aided overall performance, particularly driven by demand from critical industries, such as aviation, heavy-duty equipment and technical education. Recent performance indicated solid growth supported by new product launches, including advanced power tools and specialty torque solutions, which have been key contributors to volume expansion. Ongoing investments in custom kitting capabilities and precision tools are likely to have provided additional traction in the first quarter. The company’s focus on innovation and continuous product development is anticipated to have remained a meaningful growth driver. Snap-on has been actively launching new tools and diagnostic solutions tailored to evolving technician needs, particularly as vehicles become increasingly sophisticated. Expansion of proprietary software, data platforms and diagnostic capabilities is likely to have enhanced customer productivity and strengthened recurring demand, supporting growth in the RS&I business. Margin performance in the to-be-reported quarter is likely...
