• Cimpress subsidiaries also saw significant results, with Vistaprint’s revenue climbing 6%, while National Pen (asi/281040) and Cimpress’ upload-and-print business saw double-digit growth.

• Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, Cimpress reaffirmed its FY2026 guidance of 5%-6% full-year growth, projecting at least $72 million in net income and $450 million in adjusted EBITDA.

Counselor Top 40 distributor Cimpress (asi/162149) this week announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, reporting a revenue growth of 7% year over year. The parent company of print and promo firms – including Vistaprint, National Pen (asi/281040) and Counselor Top 40 supplier Goldstar (asi/73295) – boasted of an encouraging start to the fiscal year and said the results lay a foundation for the firm to achieve or exceed its annual financial objectives.

“We are off to a strong start in FY2026 and are well-positioned to continue to progress against our strategic and financial goals as we continue to expand the value we deliver to customers and our competitive advantages for the years to come,” said Cimpress founder, Chairman and CEO Robert Keane.

Across its portfolio, Cimpress saw adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rise $10.9 million to $98.7 million, the company’s highest-ever Q1 adjusted EBITDA thanks to gross profit growth and $2.9 million year-over-year currency benefits.

Robert Keane“We set our FY2026 guidance at a level that we believe incorporates continued risk from the trade and macroeconomic environment, and we remain in a financial position that allows us to manage through volatility, if any, posed by this environment.”Robert Keane, Cimpress (asi/162149)

The firm’s flagship brand, Vistaprint, grew Q1 revenue by 6% year over year to nearly $455 million, a spike Cimpress says was fueled by Vista’s product innovation and Cimpress’ broad network of production facilities globally.

Meanwhile, Print Brothers and the Print Group, Cimpress’ combined upload-and-print business, each grew revenue by 15%. National Pen’s revenue numbers climbed 10% compared to Q1 last year, landing at just over $103.2 million.

Like many global distributors, Cimpress has had to reset expectations around earnings due to growing trade volatility and widespread economic uncertainty.

“We set our FY2026 guidance at a level that we believe incorporates continued risk from the trade and macroeconomic environment, and we remain in a financial position that allows us to manage through volatility, if any, posed by this environment,” Keane said.

Looking ahead to the remainder of FY2026, Cimpress expects to achieve:

  • Revenue growth of 5%-6%, assuming full-year currency rates similar to recent average rates.
  • Net income of at least $72 million and adjusted EBITDA of at least $450 million.
  • Operating cash flow of $310 million and adjusted free cash flow of approximately $140 million.

Cimpress ranked 11th on Counselor’s most recent list of top distributors in the industry, based on estimated North American promotional products revenue of $326.4 million.
