Group revenue in the first half was $666.4m, 1% above the same period in 2025 (H1 2025: $659.4m). The tariff-related supplier cost increases received in the first six months of 2026 have been manageable and were partially offset with price adjustments, resulting in a slightly lower gross profit margin of 31.5% compared to first half 2025 (H1 2025: 32.8%). The marketing mix continues to provide the flexibility necessary to effectively adapt to market conditions. As a result of thesefactors, adjusted operating profit margin was 9.4% compared to 10.7% in the first half of 2025. Adjusted profit before tax for the period was down 12% at $64.8m (H1 2025: $74.0m), resulting in adjusted basic earnings per share of 173.2c (H1 2025: 197.4c). Reported profit before tax was down 19% to $59.6m (H1 2025: $74.0m), with reported basic earnings per share of 155.1c down 21% (H1 2025: 197.4c). Cash conversion remained favourable, resulting in cash andbank deposits at the half year of $136.9m (H1 2025: $102.3m). Strategy Our strategy remains unchanged. We aim to deliver attractive organic revenue growth by increasing our share of the fragmented yet substantial markets that we serve. We take a long-term view of the business. This includes making necessary investments in the people, marketing resources and infrastructure required for success, regardless of the immediate market conditions. From experience, we know that maintaininginvestment in the business through all economic cycles drives long-term Shareholder value. Dividend The Group is in a strong financial position, with cash and bank deposits at the half year of $136.9m (H1 2025: $102.3m). Consequently, and in line with its balance sheet funding and capital allocation guidelines, the Board has declared an interim dividend of 80.0c per share (2025: 80.0c). Outlook The Board is encouraged by the Group's first half performance, in particular the improvement in new customer orders throughthe period and the effective management of gross profit margin pressure resulting from tariff-related cost increases realised in the period. Based on the first half results and anticipated trading in the second half of the year, the Board expects that full year 2026 revenue and earnings will be above the current range of analysts' forecasts with Group revenue slightly above 2025 ($1.35bn),and adjusted profit before tax of approximately $130m. In my first few months as Chairman, I've been impressed by the quality of the business and management team. The resilience and cash-generative nature of the business model is evident, and the Board remains confident in the Group's strategy, competitive position and long-term growth opportunity. Paul Forman Chairman 4 August 2026 Operating and Financial Review Operating Review Performance overview In total, 1,040,000 orders were received in the first half of 2026. This was a decrease of 1% over the same period in 2025, reflecting continued strong existing customer retention and a moderating year-over-year decline in new customer orders.Existing customer orders of 838,000 were flat to prior year. Orders from new customers totalled 202,000, 7% below the 217,000 received in the first half of 2025 and compared to the 12% year-over-year decline in full year 2025. New customer order trends improved over the period (down 9% in Q1 and 5% in Q2). 117,000 new customers were acquired in the first halfcompared to 125,000 in 2025 and exhibited similar improving trends over the period (down 8% in Q1 and 4% in Q2). Average order value improved 3% compared to the same period in 2025 due to carefully considered price adjustments. Group revenue in the first half was $666.4m (H1 2025: $659.4m), an increase of 1%. Adjusted operating profit for the period was $62.5m, a decrease of 12% compared to $70.7m in the first half of 2025. Adjusted operating profit margin for the Group
Page 3
was 9.4% (H1 2025: 10.7%). Reported operating profit was down 16% to $59.6m (H1 2025: $70.7m). Beyond revenue trends, two key factors contributed to these results: o Gross profit margin for the first half of 2026 was 31.5% (H1 2025: 32.8%), reflecting manageable tariff-related supplier cost increases that were partially offset by carefully considered price adjustments. o Marketing efficiency was comparable to the prior year, with revenue per marketing dollar of $7.75 (H1 2025: $7.79). Our strategic investments in brand awareness over time have significantly improved marketing efficiency and strengthened our market position. Our direct marketing model remains very cash-generative, with cash and bank deposits of $136.9m (H1 2025: $102.3m) at thehalf year. Operational highlights In the first half of 2026, we continued investing to support our current business and position us for long-term growth. · People: Our team members are essential to our current and future success. We are nearly complete in building out our senior management team and organisational structure to support our current operations and strengthen our foundation for future profitable growth. · Marketing: Our brand is a defining strength in the promotional products industry, synonymous with reliability, quality,and service excellence. Brand equity is central to our long-term growth model. We believe that our increasing level of aided and unaided brand awareness strengthens the business, creating opportunities in both the near and longer term. In the first half, the flexibility of our marketing mix was evident, as we adjusted investment in response to marketconditions while maintaining an effective market presence. · Supply: We have cultivated long-standing partnerships with our suppliers, and these relationships are a critical success factor for the business. Given our 'drop-ship' business model, our suppliers enable us to deliver the '4imprint Certain' service that our customers come to us for. In addition, we rely on the deep relationships with our Tier 1suppliers to navigate supply chain issues together. In the first half, collaboration with our suppliers on tariff-related product costs contributed to the effective management of our gross profit margin. Whilst tariff volatility moderated during the period, we will continue to work closely with our suppliers on any future tariff policy developments. · Sustainability: We continue to make good progress in embedding sustainability across the business. Our focusremains on improving energy efficiency across our operations, collaborating closely with our supplier partners, and ensuring that sustainability considerations are integrated into how we operate and invest. We believe that a robust and credible approach to sustainability is important to all of our stakeholders and is aligned with our objective of building aresilient business that creates enduring value over the long term. · Oshkosh facilities: We are nearly complete with the c.$10m capital expenditure project to relocate our leased downtown Oshkosh, Wisconsin office space to the recently expanded distribution centre. We look forward to associates moving into their new space during third quarter 2026. Outlook Our business model, executed by our highly engaged team, consistently delivers strong profitability and cash generation. Asever, we will continue investing in the business to be positioned for growth as customer demand strengthens. We remain confident in our strategy and our prospects.

Please see note 4 for more information on uncertain tax treatment impacts that have been identified as adjusting items by virtue of their size and non-recurring nature to provide additional useful analysis of the Group's results. The Group considers the adjusted results an important measure used to monitor the performance of the underlying business and improve comparability between reporting periods. Group operating result The first half of 2026 has seen a resilient financial performance. Revenue for the period was 1% above the first half of 2025, the net result of a small fall in total order numbers (1%) being offset by a higher average order value (3%). The lower gross profit margin of 31.5% (H1 2025: 32.8%) reflects the anticipated tariff-related supplier cost increases received in early 2026, and carefully targeted price adjustments.

Marketing spend has been maintained at 13% of revenue (H1 2025: 13%), resulting in revenue per marketing dollar of $7.75 (H1 2025: $7.79). The marketing mix continues to be adjusted to fit the prevailing demand conditions and market shareopportunities. Selling costs have remained consistent at 4% of revenue (H1 2025: 4%), reflecting a stable level of customer service resource required in the current environment. Adjusted administration and central costs have decreased 1% over H1 2025. This is attributable to a lower IFRS 2 share-based payment charge due to the vesting of share awards and maturity of the 2023 US Employee Stock Purchase Plan in late 2025. The factors outlined above have combined to deliver an adjusted operating profit of $62.5m (H1 2025: $70.7m) and adjustedoperating profit margin of 9.4% (H1 2025: 10.7%). Whilst a decrease against 2025, the net impact of the tariff-related supplier cost increases has been manageable and demonstrates the strength of our deep relationships with our Tier 1 suppliers and ability to manage supply chain issues effectively. On a reported basis, operating profit of $59.6m was 16% lower than the$70.7m reported for H1 2025.

As the business constitutes 98% ofGroup revenue and 106% of Group adjusted operating profit, the commentary for the Group operating result applies equally to the North American business. UK & Ireland revenue increased 2% reflecting favourable exchange rate movements. Adjusting items In addition to the statutory results, the Group uses alternative performance measures to present additional information about the performance of the business which the Directors consider to be useful to users. Adjusting items in the current period relateto uncertain tax treatments and resulted in a net charge to profit for the period of $5.1m (H1 2025: $nil). For more information on adjusting items, please see note 4. Net finance income Adjusted net finance income decreased to $2.3m (H1 2025: $3.3m) due to lower interest rates on cash deposits.

Taxation The adjusted tax charge for the half year was $16.2m (H1 2025: $18.5m), resulting in an effective tax rate of 25% (H1 2025:25%). On a reported basis, taxation was $16.1m (H1 2025: $18.5m). Earnings per share (EPS) Adjusted basic earnings per share decreased 12% to 173.2c (H1 2025: 197.4c), primarily due to the lower gross profit driven by the anticipated tariff-related supplier cost increases. Reported basic earnings per share decreased 21% to 155.1c (H1 2025: 197.4c). Note 8 provides disclosure of the EPS calculations and the effects of potentially dilutive ordinary shares.

Free cash flow decreased by $25.3m to $49.3m (H1 2025: $74.6m) due to a lower adjusted operating profit, increased capital expenditure on the office relocation project and the comparative period including exchange gains on cash remitted from the USat the end of 2024 to the parent company and converted into Sterling to fund the final and special dividends paid to Shareholders in June 2025. Balance sheet and Shareholders' funds Net assets at 27 June 2026 were $161.3m, compared to $163.3m at 27 December 2025.

Principal risks and uncertainties
Page 6
The Board recognises that effective risk management and a robust system of internal control are integral components of good corporate governance and are fundamental to the long-term sustainable success of the Group. Risk appetite, the riskmanagement process and associated mitigating activities and controls are all essential elements of the Group's strategic and operational planning processes. The Board, supported by the Audit Committee, has overall responsibility for oversight and management of risk and control across the Group. On a day-to-day basis, this responsibility is delegated to the Executive Directors and supported by theGroup's Business Risk Management Committee. The Board is committed to embedding a risk aware culture, setting the tone from the top and ensuring that risk is an intrinsic element of the governance structure. The current principal risks and uncertainties that would impact the successful delivery of the Group's strategic goals are set out on pages 56 to 65 of the Annual Report & Accounts 2025, a copy of which is available on the Group's investor relations websiteat https://investors.4imprint.com. These are: · Macroeconomic conditions. · Markets and competition. · Effectiveness of key marketing techniques and brand development. · Business facility disruption. · Domestic supply and delivery. · Failure or interruption of information technology systems and infrastructure. · Cyber threats. · Supply chain compliance and ethics. · Legal, regulatory and compliance. · Climate change. · Products and market trends. An update to the risk environment in respect of the cyber threats risk is provided below. The other principal risks and uncertainties remain unchanged since the 2025 year-end. Cyber threats: The risk trend is increasing, reflecting a more challenging external threat landscape with the advancement of frontier AI model capabilities. We continue to invest in expertise and technical solutions to enhance our overall security postureand operational effectiveness to counter these increasing external threats. The list is not exhaustive and other, as yet unidentified, factors may have an adverse effect. Going concern These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the Group's business activities, principal risks and uncertainties, performance and financial position. The Group's going concern assessment covers the period of at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of these interimcondensed consolidated financial statements and takes into account the prevailing geopolitical landscape, macroeconomic conditions and current US tariff policy. Detailed forecasts used for this assessment shows the Group has sufficient liquidity to discharge its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period. As described in the Financial Review section of the Annual Report & Accounts 2025, the Group has also modelled stress testsfor various scenarios linked to the Group's principal risks and uncertainties and performed reverse stress tests to assess the circumstances that could lead to the Group's liquidity being exhausted and, therefore, threaten going concern. The stress tests showed no liquidity concerns or requirement to utilise the Group's undrawn facilities over the going concern period and theoutcomes of the reverse stress tests were not considered to be plausible, particularly without management actions being taken to mitigate the impact. Based on their assessment, the Directors have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern overthe going concern period of at least 12 months from 4 August 2026.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 4 August 2026, do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act2006. Statutory accounts for the period ended 27 December 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2026 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information contained in this report has neither been audited nor reviewed by the auditors, pursuant to AuditingPractices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information. 2 Basis of preparation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in US dollars in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the United Kingdom, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the periodended 27 December 2025 which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. As outlined in the Going concern section of the Financial Review, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The tax charge for the interim period is accrued based on the best estimate of the tax charge for the full financial year. 3 Accounting policies Except as described below, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financialstatements for the period ended 27 December 2025, as described in those annual financial statements. New accounting standards, amendments or revisions to existing standards or interpretations applicable for the first time in this reporting period have not had a material impact on the Group's results or balance sheet. In the current year the Group has adopted, with effect from 28 December 2025, the following new accounting policy: Alternative performance measures Alongside the analysis of the Group's results, earnings per share and cash flows, alternative performance measures are alsopresented to provide users with additional information about the performance of the business which the Directors consider to be useful. In deriving certain alternative performance measures, reported results are adjusted for items ('adjusting items') identified by virtue of their size and that are outside the normal course of business or relate to events which do not frequentlyrecur, and therefore merit separate disclosure (including the tax effect on these items). Alternative performance measures reported by the Group are not defined terms under UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and may therefore not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 4 Estimates and judgments The critical accounting judgments and key assumptions and sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those appliedto the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended 27 December 2025, except as noted below. Judgments and estimates made in assessing the impact of uncertain tax treatments Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and how tax rules apply to a particular transaction or circumstance. In applying the requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes for current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, the Group is required to make judgments, assumptions and estimations with respect to the application of complex taxregulations, and whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. Following a change in the facts and circumstances during the period, management has concluded that it is no longer probable that certain historical income tax treatments would be accepted by the relevant tax authorities. The effect of this uncertainty in determining taxable profit has been reflected in the financial statements using management's best estimate of the most likelyamount required to resolve the uncertainty. Implementing the change in position is expected to result in a reallocation of income tax payments across jurisdictions. This has resulted in the recognition of a current tax asset of $19.0m and current tax liability of $19.5m, and a net liability for related one-time operating and finance items totalling $4.6m. These estimated amounts areuncertain and, as such, the carrying amounts of these items may be subject to a material change within the next financial year. Adjusting Items The uncertain tax treatment impacts have been identified as adjusting items by virtue of their size and non-recurring nature to provide additional useful analysis of the Group's results. The Group considers the adjusted results an important measure used to monitor the performance of the underlying business and improve comparability between reporting periods. The following table shows the reconciliation of the key income statement alternative performance measures to the most directly comparable measures reported in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards: Half year 2026 Half year2025 Full year2025 Adjusted $m Adjustingitems $m Reported $m Adjusted /reported $m Adjusted /reported $m Revenue 666.4 - 666.4 659.4 1,346.8 Cost of sales (456.5) - (456.5) (442.9) (910.8) Gross profit 209.9 - 209.9 216.5 436.0 Operating expenses (147.4) (2.9) (150.3) (145.8) (290.8)

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's annualconsolidated financial statements for the period ended 27 December 2025. There have been no changes in any financial risk management policies since that date. 6 Segmental reporting The Group has two operating segments, North America and UK & Ireland. The costs of the Head Office are reported separately to the Board, but this is not an operating segment.

The effect of excluding shares held by the EBT is to reduce the average number by 119,601 (H1 2025: 58,821; FY 2025: 79,329). Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares to assume the conversion of allpotentially dilutive ordinary shares. Shares that are expected to be issued at a price below the market price of the Company's ordinary shares under the share-based payment schemes are potentially dilutive. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the adjusted profit for the period.

The Group did not participate in any related party transactions with parties outside of the Group. Alternative Performance Measures An Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financialposition, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified within IFRS. The Group uses APMs to supplement standard IFRS measures to provide users with information on underlying trends andadditional financial measures, which the Group considers will aid users' understanding of the business. New income statement measures have been introduced in the current period to provide additional financial information on theperformance of the business that exclude the non-recurring impact of the uncertain tax treatments described in note 4. Theseinclude adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin %, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted profit for the period,adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share, and are defined below. Definitions Adjusted operating profit is the profit derived from the normal operations of the business and excluding adjusting items. This isreconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measure in note 4. Adjusted operating profit margin % is the ratio of adjusted operating profit to revenue. Adjusted profit before tax is the profit before tax, excluding adjusting items. This is reconciled to the most directly comparableIFRS measure in note 4. Adjusted profit for the period is the profit for the period, excluding adjusting items and the tax on adjusting items. This isreconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measure in note 4. Adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated using the adjusted profit for theperiod. Revenue per marketing dollar is the total revenue divided by the total marketing expense. This provides a measure of theproductivity of the marketing expenditure, which is a cornerstone of the Group's organic revenue growth strategy. Cash and bank deposits is defined as cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets - bank deposits. This measure isused by the Board to understand the true cash position of the Group when determining the potential uses of cash under thebalance sheet funding and capital allocation policies. This is reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measures below:

This is given to show a relative measure of the Group's efficient use of its capital resources. Capital expenditure is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, net of proceeds from thesale of property, plant and equipment. These numbers are extracted from the cash flows from investing activities shown in theGroup cash flow statement.
