Market capitalisation

GBP1,457m

4imprint is the leading direct marketer of promotional products in the United States, Canada, the UK and Ireland. In FY23, 98% of revenues were generated in the United States and Canada.

The US promotional products distribution market is highly fragmented and PPAI estimated its 2023 value at US$26.1bn, up 2.2% on the year, after a disappointing Q4. After a further dip in Q1, the market recovered lost ground in Q2 to be effectively flat over the half, implying further market share gains for 4imprint, already the largest player but with a share of just 5%. Some questions remain about confidence in the US corporate sector but the utility of promotional products is high and sector prospects remain positive.

Financials

4imprint continued to trade better than its underlying market across H124, with revenues 5% ahead of H123. The gross margin improvement posted in H223 from pricing and mix continued in the period and looks to be sustainable. Operating profit was up by 10%, aided by the group’s marketing flexibility, with more TV/brand awareness in the mix. We trimmed our FY24 revenue forecast by 3% but lifted pre-tax profit by 2%, with consequent adjustments to FY25, where we look for 6.5% top-line growth, predicated on a stronger US economy. We also published our first thoughts on FY26 with similar growth and margin assumptions.
