Quality

54

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 54 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Accelerating

72

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 72 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as accelerating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

58

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 58 of 100, recorded as favorable. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 0.5% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Ennis, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the " Company ," " Registrant ," " Ennis ," or " we ," " us ," or " our ") was organized under the laws of Texas in 1909. Ennis is primarily a "trade printer" that manufactures a broad range of printed products that are resold throughout the United States through a network of independent distributors. This distributor channel encompasses independent print distributors, commercial printers, direct mail, fulfillment companies, payroll and accounts payable software companies, and advertising agencies, among others. We also sell products to many of our competitors to satisfy their customers’ needs.

Our management believes we are the largest provider of business forms, pressure-seal forms, labels, tags, envelopes, and presentation folders to independent distributors in the United States.

We are in the business of manufacturing, designing and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. We operate approximately 50 manufacturing plants throughout the United States in 20 strategically located states as one reportable segment; printing services and manufacture of business forms. Approximately 95% of the business products we manufacture are custom and semi-custom products, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors, number of parts and quantities on an individual job basis, depending upon the customers’ specifications.

The products we sell include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis , Royal Business Forms , Block Graphics , ColorWorx , Enfusion , Uncompromised Check Solutions , VersaSeal , Ad Concepts SM , FormSource Limited SM , Star Award Ribbon Company , Witt Printing , Genforms , PrintGraphics , Calibrated Forms , PrintXcel , Printegra , Forms Manufacturers SM , Mutual Graphics , TRI-C Business Forms SM , Major Business Systems SM , Independent Printing SM , Hayes Graphics , Wright Business Graphics SM , Wright 360 SM , Integrated Print & Graphics SM , the Flesh Company SM , AmeriPrint SM ; Stylecraft SM , UMC Print SM ; Eagle Graphics SM , Diamond Graphics SM , Printing Technologies SM and CFC Print & Mail SM .

We sell predominantly through independent distributors, as well as to many of our competitors. Northstar Computer Forms, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, also sells direct to a small number of customers, generally large banking organizations (where a distributor is not acceptable or available to the end-user). Adams McClure, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary, also sells direct to a small number of customers, where sales are generally through advertising agencies.
