FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ENNIS, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THE QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2026,

SETS RECORD DATE FOR ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

Midlothian, TX. April 20, 2026 -- Ennis, Inc. (the “Company”), (NYSE: EBF), today reported financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended February 28, 2026. Highlights include:

•Revenues were $96.4 million for the quarter, an increase of $3.7 million or 4.0% over last year's fourth quarter and $392.4 million for the fiscal year, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 0.6% over last fiscal year.

•Earnings per diluted share for the current quarter were $0.35 consistent with $0.35 for the same quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share were $1.66 for the fiscal year as compared to $1.54 for the last fiscal year.

•Gross profit margin for the quarter was 29.2% compared to 29.5% for the comparative quarter last year. Gross profit margin was 30.7% for the fiscal year compared to 29.7% for the prior fiscal year.

Financial Overview

The Company’s revenues for the fourth quarter ended February 28, 2026 were $96.4 million compared to $92.7 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 4.0%. Gross profits totaled $28.1 million, or 29.2%, as compared to $27.4 million, or 29.5% for the same quarter last year. The Company's gross profit margin decreased on a sequential basis from 31.9% for the third quarter ended November 30, 2025 to 29.2%. Net earnings for the quarter were $8.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share as compared to $9.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the same quarter last year.

The Company’s revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 were $392.4 million compared to $394.6 million for the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 0.6%. Gross profits totaled $120.4 million, or 30.7%, as compared to $117.3 million, or 29.7% for the prior fiscal year. Net earnings for the fiscal year were $42.6 million or $1.66 per diluted share, compared to $40.2 million, or $1.54 per diluted share for the prior fiscal year.

Keith Walters, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Our performance for the quarter met our expectations. Current year acquisitions contributed $8.8 million to quarterly sales, partially offset by lower organic volumes. Gross profit margin remained solid at 29.2% for the current quarter, compared to 29.5% in the prior year. EBITDA totaled $16.3 million or 17.0% of sales, reflecting stable operating performance relative to $16.5 million, or 17.8% of sales, in the same prior year quarter.

“We completed the integration of Northeastern Envelope Company, our largest acquisition this year, into our ERP systems, enhancing our ability to manage costs and pricing and supporting consistent margin performance. Current year acquisitions positively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.05 for the quarter and $0.14 for the full year.

“As previously noted, we proactively increased inventory earlier in the year to mitigate supply risk following the announced mill closure of the only domestic producer of carbonless paper. During the fourth quarter, we successfully reduced inventory from $60.8 million to $54.9 million through the conversion of inventory to sales. As we transition to alternative suppliers, we do not expect any disruption to supply in the normal course of business. During the year, we also invested $8.0 million to purchase a facility we previously leased, which is expected to reduce future lease expense and support long-term operating efficiency.

"We maintain a strong balance sheet, with no debt and ample cash reserves. We expect cash balances to steadily increase over the coming quarters. Our profitability and financial strength allow us to operate and pursue acquisitions without reliance on debt, while retaining access to credit for larger initiatives if needed. During the year, we deployed $14.5 million to repurchase approximately 793,000 shares of our common stock at various points when market prices were attractive. Future share repurchases will be evaluated based on market conditions, capital allocation priorities, and other relevant factors. We remain focused on sustaining profitability and delivering returns to our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

To provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results of operations, from time to time the Company reports the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA (EBITDA is calculated as net earnings before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation, and amortization). The Company may also report adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as a supplement to reported GAAP financial information. Management reviews these non-GAAP financial measures on a regular basis and uses them to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company’s operations. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company, which limits the usefulness of the Company’s non-GAAP measures for comparison with these other companies. While management believes the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company, when this information is reported it should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute or an alternative for, or superior to, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the Company’s comparable GAAP financial measures.

The following table reconciles EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three and twelve months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 to the most comparable GAAP measure, net earnings (dollars in thousands).
