U.S. stock futures slip lower; Cook’s firing increases Fed independence worries
Investing.com -- Cimpress N.V. (NASDAQ:CMPR) shares gained up to 12.1% after the mass customization company reported fourth-quarter revenue that exceeded analyst expectations, despite posting a significant earnings miss amid tariff-related challenges.
The company reported Q4 revenue of $869.48 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $844.24 million and representing a 4% increase YoY. However, Cimpress posted an adjusted EPS loss of -$1.02, falling well short of analysts’ expectations for a profit of $0.98 per share. The earnings miss was primarily attributed to tax-related expenses, including a valuation allowance increase in Switzerland.
Despite tariff headwinds, particularly affecting the company’s National Pen business, Cimpress maintained solid operational performance with adjusted EBITDA increasing by $3.1 million to $122.4 million. The company’s Vista segment showed particularly strong results with segment EBITDA expanding 18% YoY to $100.3 million.
"While our financial performance in FY2025 was below our aspirations, we finished the year in a strong position to extend our long history of market leadership and profitable growth," said Robert S. Keane, Founder, Chairman & CEO. "We demonstrated our resilience and ability to act quickly to mitigate risk during an uncertain tariff and trade environment."
Looking ahead, Cimpress provided fiscal year 2026 guidance projecting revenue growth of 5-6% and organic constant-currency revenue growth of 2-3%. The company expects net income of at least $72 million and adjusted EBITDA of at least $450 million, inclusive of start-up losses from expansion projects.
The positive market reaction appears driven by investor confidence in the company’s ability to navigate tariff challenges while continuing to grow revenue across its business segments, particularly in promotional products, apparel, and signage.
