Description: EBF Ennis December 27, 2025
Ennis, Inc. (NYSE: EBF) is a U.S.-based commercial printer that manufactures and sells a broad array of business forms and printed products-including snap sets, continuous forms, labels, tags, envelopes, and point-of-purchase displays-under more than 30 brand names such as Ennis, Royal Business Forms, Block Graphics, and Adams McClure.
The company reaches customers through a mixed distribution network of business-forms distributors, resellers, direct-mail channels, commercial printers, software firms, and advertising agencies, and it also serves niche markets like school-photo marketing and financial-security documents.
In fiscal 2023 Ennis reported revenue of roughly $1.1 billion, a modest year-over-year decline of about 2 percent, with operating cash flow of $120 million and free cash flow near $80 million. The firm maintains a dividend yield around 1.5 percent and a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of roughly 2.0×, indicating moderate leverage.
Key economic drivers for the commercial-printing sector include overall business-spending trends, the ongoing shift toward digital document workflows that can suppress demand for paper forms, and input-cost pressures from rising pulp and energy prices. Ennis’s diversified brand portfolio and recurring contract work help mitigate some of these cyclical risks.
For a deeper quantitative breakdown of EBF’s valuation metrics, the ValueRay platform offers a concise, data-driven snapshot worth exploring.
