SupremeX Announces Record Q1 2023 Results

Supremex Inc. (“Supremex” or the “Company”) (TSX: SXP), a leading North American manufacturer and marketer of envelopes and a growing provider of paper-based packaging solutions, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter Financial Highlights and Recent Events
• Total revenue increased by 39.8% to $88.4 million, from $63.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.
• Envelope segment revenue was up 44.4% to $64.5 million, from $44.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.
• Packaging and specialty products segment revenue rose by 28.7% to $24.0 million, from $18.6 million last year.
• Net earnings increased 50.7% to $9.5 million, from $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.
• Acquisitions of Impression Paragraph Inc. (“Paragraph”), on January 16, 2023 and of Graf-Pak Inc. (“Graf-Pak”) on May 8, 2023

“Supremex posted solid first-quarter results with recent acquisitions driving revenue growth, leading to a thirteenth consecutive period of year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. Our robust performance in the Envelope segment reflects a focused penetration of the U.S. market and a continued emphasis on improving customer and product mix. In Packaging, revenue and profitability were affected by residual inefficiencies from a recent relocation of our primary folding carton facility in the Montreal area, and we continue to focus on leveraging the benefits from a larger and more efficient facility,” said Stewart Emerson, President & CEO of Supremex.

“For the balance of 2023, our focus remains on integrating recent acquisitions with a priority on capturing all sales and cost synergies. Looking to the immediate future, both segments we operate in are experiencing a slowdown in new orders as customers throughout the supply chain focus on reducing inventory levels built in 2022. Beyond this temporary ebb, we believe our solid position in the North American envelope market combined with a greater presence in the growing folding carton and e-commerce fulfilment packaging markets should drive further earnings and cash flow growth,” concluded Mr. Emerson.

Green printing. Reality or fad?

We sometimes tend to forget the sustainable advantages that paper has compared to other materials. The fact that it’s chemical free, biodegradable, has low CO2 emissions and is of sustainable origin are almost taken for granted. With the increasing attention on plastic waste and the scary images of plastic islands floating in our oceans, paper’s being perceived more positively than ever before. Janosch Schenk, Technical Customer Service Engineer, Alfeld Mill reveals just why: “Although there is no recognised certification system for green printing, we can identify trends and standard practices in the different industry segments. The reality from the paper perspective is that green printing doesn’t really bring any new difficulties to the table. We don’t need to adjust our processes because independent certifications already exist for paper that demand certification requirements. For us, green printing is a new name for something we already do.” Here are ways green printing’s already being put into practice: Click Read More below for additional information.
