Market capitalisation

GBP1,626m

4imprint is the leading direct marketer of promotional products in the United States, Canada, the UK and Ireland. In FY23, 98% of revenues were generated in the United States and Canada.

The US promotional products distribution market is highly fragmented and PPAI estimated its 2023 value at US$26.1bn, up 2.2% on the year, after a disappointing Q4. For Q124, the PPAI are indicating sales up 1.5%, but the other industry body, ASI, indicating a dip of 0.9%. Given US inflation for Q124 of 3.5%, this implies a further dip in volumes. Some questions remain about confidence in the US corporate sector but the utility of promotional products is high and sector prospects remain positive.

Financials

4imprint’s AGM trading update in May indicated a solid start to the year against a challenging market backdrop, with FY24 expectations (and therefore our forecasts) unchanged. Group revenue growth of 6% over the prior year for the four months to end-April is clearly ahead of the North American market, where Q124 industry revenue indications range from broadly flat to a small decline, indicating that the group is continuing to build market share. 4imprint is the largest distributor in North America, yet still only has a market share of around 5%, giving it plenty of runway for growth. CFO David Seekings has announced his intention to retire before the end of 2025, giving ample time for a suitable succession to be arranged.
