Multiple Analysts's questions to Cimpress PLC (CMPR) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
An analyst asked why the Q2 weakness was not flagged earlier in the quarter, such as in early December.
Answer
EVP and CFO Sean Quinn responded that the full extent of the year-over-year profit impact was not known until the books were closed for December. He explained that the holiday peak is a concentrated period, and this year's condensed buying season made forecasting consumer behavior particularly difficult. The results in December were ultimately worse than had been forecast earlier in the month.
