“Revenues in the quarter increased 10.4% through a combination of the Royal Envelope acquisition, sustained growth in our U.S. Envelope business and growing e-commerce packaging sales. EBITDA grew by 49.3% notably from synergies generated in our envelope operations, higher e-commerce packaging sales and cost mitigation measures implemented in the context of the ongoing pandemic.”

“Although there remains uncertainty with regards to the full impact of the pandemic on customers and the economy, these results demonstrate the resiliency of our business model and the benefits of our growth and diversification strategy. Looking ahead, we are focused on extracting operational leverage, profitably grow our packaging platform and creating shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Emerson.
