Ennis, Inc. (EBF) reported $397.2M in revenue over the twelve months to Aug 31, 2026, up 2.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Ennis turns reported earnings into operating cash, but FY2026’s inventory buildup and heavier reinvestment reduced the cash available after investment.
FY2026 exposed a cash-conversion gap: operating cash flow fell19.9% even as net income rose6.0% , so the earnings increase did not translate proportionally into cash. Inventory rose41.5% while the current ratio fell to 3.7x, linking weaker conversion to more funds tied up in stock rather than a broad liquidity shortage.
The margin pattern points to cost structure, not sales expansion, as the near-term engine: revenue declined
Free cash flow weakened because reinvestment intensified: it fell
