Forward guidance

Cimpress expects to benefit from print market dynamics and deliver customer experience improvements. The company anticipates annual constant-currency organic revenue growth at mid-single-digit rates, with adjusted EBITDA growing slightly faster. They target net leverage at or below approximately 2.5x trailing-twelve-month EBITDA but may increase leverage to approximately 3.0x for investments.

Tailwinds

  • Consolidated constant-currency organic revenue to grow annually at mid-single-digit rates, possibly a little higher.
  • Adjusted EBITDA to grow slightly faster than revenue.
  • The multi-year conversion rate of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted free cash flow to be approximately 45% to 50%, with fluctuations from year to year.
  • Make roughly similar levels of operating expense organic growth investment as we did in FY2024.
  • Repurchase shares and/or debt if available at an attractive price.

Headwinds

  • Changes in net working capital to be a source of cash, but less favorable than it was in FY2024.
  • Increase capital expenditures to capitalize on opportunities we see for new products and productivity- enhancing production equipment.
  • Not deploy significant capital to M&A.
  • We may, from time-to-time, increase leverage to as high as approximately 3.0x for investments that we believe to have good returns and with a clear path to delever to the target of approximately 2.5x or below.
  • However, if we continue to have attractive opportunities for share repurchases next fiscal year, we expect to exit FY2025 with net leverage at or below approximately 2.75x.
