4imprint sees lower operating profits in divisions

Date: Wednesday 23 Apr 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Printed products firm 4imprint said operating profit for some of its divisions will be lower than expected.

Sales in the US direct marketing division is up 19% against the same period last year. However, the yield of new customers is lower and operating profit for the division is likely to show a “reduced level of growth” than previous years.

It also said the trade division had a very slow start to the year but sales in March were better and the improvement is continuing. “However the slow start will adversely impact our Divisional operating profit expectations for 2008,” it added.

Continuing sales from the End User Business were over 10% ahead of last year and operating profit for 2008 is expected to show growth over last year.

“The board expects that the group will make further progress in 2008 with the second half being stronger than the first,” it said.
