4imprint Group PLC on Wednesday said a boost in orders drove its half-year profit and revenue up. The London-based marketer and distributor of promotional products said for the six months ended July 1, pretax profit grew by 50% to $66.0 million from $43.9 million a year prior, as revenue rose by 23% to $635.5 million from $515.5 million the year prior. This was driven by a ‘favourable’ trading momentum which saw an 18% increase in total orders received from a year before. 4imprint upped its interim dividend by 63% to $0.65 from $0.40 a year ago. Looking ahead, the company said it expects its full-year pretax profit to be no less than $125 million, compared to $104 million in 2022, while revenue will be slightly above $1.3 billion compared to $1.14 billion a year ago. Chair Paul Moody said: ‘The group’s strong first-half performance clearly demonstrates that its strategy and business model are effective in delivering profitable market share gains.’ Shares in 4imprint were up 1.9% at 5,177.20 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.
