Unnamed Analyst's questions to Cimpress PLC (CMPR) leadership • Q4 2025
Question
An analyst asked for an explanation of the 'other income (net)' line item and the derivative contracts that created a drag on earnings during the quarter.
Answer
CFO Sean Quinn explained that the volatility stems from the company's currency hedging program, primarily for the Euro. Because Cimpress does not use hedge accounting for this program, the derivative contracts are marked-to-market quarterly, resulting in unrealized gains or losses. The Q4 loss was driven by the dollar weakening against the Euro. He emphasized this is an accounting effect, and the economic offset will be more favorable currency rates flowing through the P&L, contributing to a slightly favorable currency impact on EBITDA in FY26.
