Unnamed Analyst's questions to Cimpress PLC (CMPR) leadership • Q4 2025
Question
An analyst inquired whether Cimpress's maintenance capital expenditures, including capitalized software, have increased significantly as a result of recent growth investments.
Answer
CFO Sean Quinn clarified that while maintenance CapEx was elevated in FY25 and will be again in FY26, it is not a result of recent growth initiatives. Instead, it relates to cyclical replacements of long-life assets, such as offset presses. He noted that these replacements, while categorized as maintenance, provide efficiency and quality benefits. He expects these spending levels to normalize after FY26. For software, more spending is now classified as maintenance as the core platform matures.
