Transcontinental Inc. (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) announces its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended April 30, 2023.

“Despite lower volume, the second quarter results are solid, with adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization growing by 5.2%, said Thomas Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental.

“In our Packaging Sector, we posted the highest quarterly adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization since the Corporation entered this business segment in 2014. The profit improvement results mainly from increases in prices to mitigate the impact of inflation, cost reduction initiatives and the favourable exchange rate effect, partially offset by pressures on volume. Our investments in sustainable packaging solutions position us well for the future and should be a key driver of our long-term growth.

“As for our Printing Sector, necessary measures were taken to adjust our cost structure and prices were increased to mitigate the cost increases due to inflation. The actions allowed us to partially offset the effect of lower volume in the retail flyer printing and distribution activities. In addition, our in-store marketing activities grew in revenues and profits during the quarter. Lastly, we should highlight the launch in Montreal of raddar™, our reinvented flyer.”

“Our financial position is solid and we expect to generate significant cash flows in the second half of fiscal 2023, which will enable us to reduce our net indebtedness, ” said Donald LeCavalier, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of TC Transcontinental.

Target Report: Book Manufacturing Industry Is in Turmoil (piworld.com)

Change continues to rock the book manufacturing business. Contracts for book printing and bindery services have declined as publishers pull back on new orders and work off the excess inventory that built up in response to demand during the Covid years. Print-on-demand book technologies are placing further downward pressure on traditional book manufacturing. Although there is widespread confidence that the printed book will survive the digital onslaught better than many other forms of print, there are shifts and cracks in the book printing world. Consolidators are buying companies with long histories and respected pedigrees that have served and continue to sell to the trade and educational publishers. At the same time, others are closing down huge manufacturing facilities as overall volumes decline in certain segments. On-demand digital ordering, prepress, and printing technologies, driven primarily by the plethora of installed highly productive continuous form inkjet printing devices, has reduced the need for publishers to order long runs and keep large inventories.
