Ennis, Inc. (NYSE:EBF) Plans Quarterly Dividend of $0.26
defenseworld.net • 19d ago SEC Filing ⚠ 3
EBF: 10-Q · periodic report
Ennis reported Q2 FY2026 net sales of $102.0 million, up 3.3% year over year, with acquisitions contributing about $2.3 million of the increase. Income from operations rose 9.7% to $13.6 million as SG&A fell 4.5%.
Net earnings fell to $9.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, from $13.2 million, or $0.51, a year ago, mainly because the prior year included a $5.3 million favorable litigation judgment while this quarter carried a $0.7 million litigation charge tied to an Arizona landlord dispute over the former B&D Litho facility.
The balance sheet remains strong: $54.0 million in cash, no long-term debt, and operating cash flow of $34.1 million for the six months, nearly double the prior year. The Board subsequently declared a $0.2625 per share quarterly dividend (up from $0.25), payable November 6, 2026, with ~$7.2 million still available under the buyback authorization.

Ennis, Inc. Reports Results for the Quarter Ended August 31, 2026 and Announces a Five Percent Increase in the Quarterly Dividend After a Strong Operating Quarter
Ennis reported revenue of $102.0 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2026, up 3.3% year-over-year, with net earnings of $9.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.37 versus $0.51 a year ago.
The EPS decline was litigation-driven: the prior-year quarter included a $5.3 million favorable judgment, while the current quarter absorbed a $700,000 charge tied to a $2.3 million preliminary ruling in the B&D Litho lease litigation. Excluding these items, diluted EPS increased $0.02, and the company says it disagrees with the ruling and will pursue post-trial and appellate remedies.
The board raised the quarterly dividend 5% to $0.2625 per share, payable November 6, 2026 to shareholders of record on October 9, 2026.
The balance sheet is a highlight: operating cash flow for the first six months reached $34.1 million versus $18.4 million a year ago, cash grew to $54.0 million, and Ennis operates with no debt.

EBF: 8-K · proxy statement
Ennis, Inc. reported the results of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 16, 2026. Directors Aaron Carter, Gary S. Mozina, and Keith S. Walters were elected, while nominee Michael D. Magill did not receive a majority of votes cast. Mr. Magill tendered his resignation in accordance with company bylaws following the vote.
The Board of Directors rejected Mr. Magill's resignation after determining that the negative vote was significantly influenced by an incorrect recommendation from Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). The Board stated that ISS inaccurately asserted Mr. Magill was not independent due to a lack of a cooling-off period, whereas he had in fact retired in 2021 and met all independence standards.
Shareholders ratified the selection of CohnReznick, LLP as the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending 2027. Additionally, a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation was approved by shareholders.

EBF: 10-Q · periodic report
Ennis reported net sales of $98.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, a 1.4% increase from the prior year, driven primarily by recent acquisitions. Net earnings rose slightly to $9.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million in the same period last year. The company noted that organic sales volume decreased by $3.1 million due to weaker customer demand and industry-wide pressure, but this was offset by over $4.5 million in incremental revenue from acquisitions.
Gross profit margin improved to 31.5% from 31.1%, attributed to pricing discipline, product mix, and the integration of acquired operations. SG&A expenses increased by 3.6%, primarily due to costs associated with prior year acquisitions and higher incentive compensation. The effective tax rate increased to 28.0% from 27.5% due to changes in state income taxes and nondeductible executive compensation.
Liquidity remained strong with cash and cash equivalents totaling $49.1 million at the end of the quarter. In a subsequent event on June 19, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share, payable August 10, 2026. The company has $7.2 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization but did not repurchase any shares during the quarter.

EBF: DEF 14A · proxy statement
Ennis, Inc. (EBF) filed its definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, proposing the re-election of three incumbent directors and the election of Michael Magill to fill a board vacancy. The Board recommends voting for nominees Aaron Carter, Gary Mozina, and Keith Walters, whose terms expire in 2026, as well as Michael Magill, who was appointed in July 2025 to complete the term expiring in 2028.
The filing discloses that Ennis achieved fiscal year 2026 sales of $392.4 million, representing 93.7% of the targeted benchmark, while exceeding profit and return-on-equity targets by 5.1% and 7.2%, respectively. CEO Keith Walters received a base salary of $1.1 million and a performance bonus of $1.13 million, reflecting the company's strong profitability despite missing the sales target.
Governance highlights include the appointment of CohnReznick LLP as the independent auditor for fiscal year 2027 and the disclosure of related-party transactions involving director Gary Mozina, including a sourcing agreement and facility lease with his family-owned entities. The proxy also notes a 26.4% employee turnover rate, attributed to retirements and plant consolidations, which remains within the industry average range.
