ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 8 1. Significant Accounting Policies and General Matters Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ennis, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “Registrant,” “Ennis,” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the three months ended May 31, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026, from which the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2026 was derived. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, including those related to credit losses, inventory valuations, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, pension plan, accrued liabilities, and income taxes. The Company bases estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", that requires entities to disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (fiscal year 2028 for the Company and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in some disaggregation of the Company’s income statement expenses in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that elects this accounting policy must disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-05 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 9 2. Revenue Nature of Revenues Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of printed products in the continental United States of America and is primarily recognized at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be provided in exchange for those goods. Revenue from the sale of commercial printing products, including shipping and handling fees billed to customers, is recognized when the performance obligation is met upon the transfer of control to the customer, which is generally upon shipment to the customer when the terms of the sale are freight on board ("FOB") shipping point, or, to a lesser extent, upon delivery to the customer if the terms of the sale are FOB destination. Net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges, including sales tax, discounts, returns and other allowances. Returns, discounts and other allowances have historically been insignificant. In a small number of cases and upon customer request, the Company prints and stores printed product for customer specified future delivery, generally within the same year as the product is manufactured. In this case, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control when manufacturing is complete and title and risk of ownership is passed to the customer while the inventory remains in the Company’s warehouse. Approximately $3.5 million and $3.0 million of revenue was recognized under these arrangements during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Storage revenue for certain customers may be recognized over time rather than at a point in time. The amount of storage revenue is immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As the output method for measure of progress is determined to be appropriate, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount for which it has the right to invoice for revenue that is recognized over time and for which it demonstrates that the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer for the performance completed to date. The Company does not disaggregate revenue and operates in one reportable segment consisting of printed product revenue, which is reported as net sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 19. The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities as of May 31, 2026. Significant Judgments Generally, the Company’s contracts with customers are comprised of a written quote and customer purchase order or statement of work, and governed by the Company’s trade terms and conditions. In certain instances, it may be further supplemented by separate pricing agreements and customer incentive arrangements, which typically only affect the contract’s transaction price. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 30 to 90 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. Product returns are not significant as the bulk of the Company's sales are custom in nature. From time to time, the Company may offer incentives to its customers considered to be variable consideration including volume-based rebates or early payment discounts. Customer incentives considered to be variable consideration are recorded as a reduction to revenue as part of the transaction price at contract inception when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the incentive and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Customer incentives are allocated entirely to the single performance obligation of transferring printed product to the customer and are not considered material. For customers with terms of FOB shipping point, the Company accounts for shipping and handling activities performed after the control of the printed product has been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. The Company accrues for the costs of shipping and handling activities if revenue is recognized before contractually agreed shipping and handling activities occur. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. Accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations nor the timing of revenue recognition.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 10 3. Receivables Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in North America. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not typically require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends. Accounts receivable relate to credit extended directly to customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received. Recoveries for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 were not significant to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations. The following table presents the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses (in thousands): Three months ended May 31, 2026 2025 Balance at beginning of period $ 1,617 $ 1,713 Credit losses 107 90 Recoveries (116) — Accounts written off (10) (45) Balance at end of period $ 1,598 $ 1,758 Other Receivables Other receivables primarily consist of vendor rebate receivables which represent amounts due from vendors for volume and are generally negotiated at the beginning of the annual period. The Company receives volume-based rebates from certain suppliers. These rebates are recognized as a reduction in the cost of inventory and are recognized in cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Rebates are accrued based on purchases and in accordance with the contractual terms.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 11 4. Inventories The Company values its inventories at the lower of first-in, first out (“FIFO”) cost or market cost, with the exception of approximately 5.8% and 5.6% of inventories are valued at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively, or net realizable value. The excess of current cost at FIFO over LIFO stated values was approximately $6.4 million and $6.1 million as of May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The Company regularly reviews inventories on hand, using specific aging categories, and writes down the carrying value of its inventories for excess and potentially obsolete inventories based on historical usage and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of its inventories, the Company is required to make judgments as to future demand requirements. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by the Company, adjustments to inventories may be required. The allowance for aged obsolete inventory at May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026 were $1.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The aged inventory allowance is recorded primarily to account for the decrease in market value of general stock inventory that is not manufactured to specific customer order. The following table summarizes the components of inventories at the different stages of production as of the dates indicated (in thousands): May 31, February 28, 2026 2026 Raw material, net $ 34,241 $ 35,346 Work-in-process 5,222 4,344 Finished goods 16,604 15,205 Total inventory, net $ 56,067 $ 54,895 5. Property, Plant and Equipment The following table presents a summary of property, plant and equipment, net: May 31, February 28, 2026 2026 Plant, machinery and equipment $ 160,207 $ 160,300 Land and buildings 80,736 80,712 Computer equipment and software 9,906 10,429 Other 3,695 3,872 Property, plant and equipment 254,544 255,313 Less accumulated depreciation 193,010 191,972 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 61,534 $ 63,341 6. Acquisitions The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100% of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values with certain limited exceptions permitted under US GAAP. Management utilizes valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred. During the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, the acquisition related costs were not significant to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 12 Acquisition of CFC Print & Mail On November 14, 2025, the Company acquired the assets and business of CFC Print & Mail ("CFC"), which is based in Grand Prairie, TX for approximately $3.9 million in cash. The Company performed an allocation of the total consideration and recorded the underlying assets acquired (including certain identified intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer lists and trade names) and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values using the information available as of the acquisition date. The Company recorded intangible assets with definite lives ranging from 2 to 13 years of approximately $2.3 million in connection with the transaction, which are deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition of CFC further strengthens our leading position in the business products and commercial print sector. The following table summarizes the Company's purchase price allocation for CFC as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Accounts receivable $ 652 Inventories 336 Other assets 56 Right-of-use asset 239 Property, plant and equipment 1,000 Intangibles 2,307 Operating lease liability (239) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (418) Acquisition price $ 3,933 Acquisition of Northeastern Envelope Company and Envelope Superstore On April 11, 2025 the Company acquired the net assets and business of Northeastern Envelope Company ("NEC"), which is based in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, and Envelope Superstore ("ESS") which is based in Hiram, Georgia, for approximately $35.0 million in cash. The Company performed an allocation of the total consideration and recorded the underlying assets acquired (including certain identified intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer lists and trade names) and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values prepared by management using the information available as of the acquisition date. All goodwill of $12.2 million recognized as a part of this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The Company also recorded intangible assets with definite lives ranging from 2 to 13 years of approximately $11.3 million in connection with the transaction, which are also deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition of NEC and ESS strengthens our production capabilities to serve our customers in the Northeast and Southeast United States. The following table summarizes the Company's purchase price allocation for NEC and ESS as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Accounts receivable $ 1,585 Inventories 2,914 Right-of-use asset 601 Property, plant and equipment 7,371 Goodwill 12,237 Intangibles 11,348 Operating lease liability (601) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (458) Acquisition price $ 34,997 The results of operations for NEC, ESS, and CFC are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

Leases The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating leases, which are recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s leases generally have terms of 1 – 5 years, with certain leases including renewal options to extend the leases for additional periods at the Company’s discretion. At lease inception, all renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised are considered when determining the lease term. The Company currently does not have leases that include options to purchase or provisions that would automatically transfer ownership of the leased property to the Company. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. The Company had no material variable lease costs for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. A contract will be deemed to be or contain a lease if the contract conveys the right to control and directs the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company generally must also have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the property, plant, and equipment. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates incremental borrowing rates based on the information available at lease commencement date, as rates are not implicitly stated in most leases. Lease expense is recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, based on the underlying nature of the leased asset. Components of lease expense for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands): Three months ended May 31, 2026 May 31, 2025 Operating lease cost $ 1,267 $ 1,431 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 1,278 $ 1,446 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations Operating leases $ — $ 2,299 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Terms Operating leases 2.8 Years 3.0 Years Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 4.25% 4.39%

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses and is not amortized. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets is performed as of December 1 of each fiscal year. The Company uses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, including goodwill. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, overall financial performance of the business, and performance of the share price of the Company. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes multiple valuation methodologies, including a market approach (market price multiples of comparable companies) and an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. If the evaluation results in the fair value of the goodwill for the reporting unit being lower than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded. A goodwill impairment charge was not required during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.

Accrued Expenses The following table summarizes the components of accrued expenses as of the dates indicated (in thousands): May 31, February 28, 2026 2026 Employee compensation and benefits $ 13,047 $ 12,254 Taxes other than income 1,880 1,435 Accrued legal and professional fees 355 558 Accrued utilities 118 118 Income taxes payable 4,858 1,067 Other accrued expenses 1,374 1,414 $ 21,632 $ 16,846 10. Credit Facility As of May 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $0.2 million outstanding under a standby letters of credit arrangement secured by a cash collateral bank account. 11. Shareholders’ Equity The Company’s board of directors (the "Board") has authorized the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock through a stock repurchase program, which authorized amount is currently up to $60.0 million in the aggregate. Under the repurchase program, purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Such purchases, if any, will be made in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. These repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock during the three months ended May 31, 2026. During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 260,560 shares of common stock under the program at an average price of $19.04. Since the program’s inception in October 2008, there have been 3,127,900 common shares repurchased at an average price of $16.87 per share. As of May 31, 2026, approximately $7.2 million remained available to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the program. 12. Stock Based Compensation The Company grants stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to key executives and managerial employees and non-employee directors. At May 31, 2026, the Company had one stock compensation plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Ennis, Inc., adopted by the Board April 16, 2021 and affirmed by vote of the shareholders July 15, 2021 (the “Plan”). The Plan authorized 1,033,648 shares of common stock for awards and expires June 30, 2031 and all unissued stock will expire on that date. As of May 31, 2026, the Company has 441,493 shares of unissued common stock reserved under the Plan for issuance. The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Plan equals a referenced price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is ten years. Stock options and restricted stock may be granted at different times during the year and vest ratably over various periods, from grant date up to five years. The Company uses treasury stock to satisfy option exercises and restricted stock awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock grants based on the grant date fair value of the award for stock options, restricted stock grants and RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The estimated number of shares to be achieved for performance based RSUs is updated each reporting period. For the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company included in selling, general and administrative expenses, compensation expense related to stock-based compensation of approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) 18 Restricted Stock Units During the three months ended May 31, 2026, no performance-based or time-based RSUs were granted under the Plan. The fair value of the time-based RSUs was estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of $19.43 per unit. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs, using a Monte Carlo valuation model, was $19.97 per unit. The performance measures include a threshold, target and maximum performance level providing the grantees an opportunity to receive more or less shares than targeted depending on actual financial performance of the Company. The award will be based on the Company’s return on equity, EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation, and amortization) and adjusted for the Company’s Relative Shareholder Return as measured against a defined peer group. The RSUs include dividend equivalent rights that entitle the holders to receive cash payments per RSU that are equal to the per share dividends we declare and pay on our common stock, which are included in dividends paid in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The performance-based RSUs vest on the third anniversary from the date of grant and the time-based RSUs vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. The following activity occurred with respect to the Company’s restricted stock units for the three months ended May 31, 2026: Time-based Performance-based Weighted Weighted Average Average Number of Grant Date Number of Grant Date Shares Fair Value Shares Fair Value Unvested at March 1, 2026 (1) 67,976 $ 19.43 198,827 $ 19.97 Granted — — — — Terminated (5,403) 19.43 — — Modified (2) (46,352) 19.43 (135,581) 19.97 Vested (5,406) 19.43 — — Unvested at May 31, 2026 10,815 $ 19.43 63,246 $ 19.97 (1) The number of shares of time-based grants may, upon vesting, convert 50% into common stock and the remaining 50% into two incentive stock options for each RSU with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on that date for employees who have not met their stock ownership requirements. The number of shares of performance-based grants includes an estimate 14,595 of additional RSUs at the maximum achievement level of 130% of target payout. Actual shares that may be issued can range from 0% to 130% of target. (2) During April 2026, the Compensation Committee approved the settlement of certain outstanding RSU awards in cash rather than shares of common stock. As a result, the awards were modified from equity-classified to liability-classified awards under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company reclassified approximately $2.2 million from additional paid-in-capital to accrued compensation liabilities. Subsequent changes in the liability balance will be recognized through compensation expense until settlement. As of May 31, 2026, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost of time-based RSUs was approximately $0.1 million over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of 0.9 years. As of May 31, 2026, the total remaining unrecognized compensation of performance-based RSUs was approximately $0.4 million over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of 0.9 years. 13. Pension Plan The Company and certain subsidiaries have a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan (the "Pension Plan"), covering approximately 12% of the Company’s aggregate employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average compensation for the highest five compensation years preceding retirement or termination. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company amended the Pension Plan to exclude any new employees from participation in the Pension Plan. Eligible employees who were hired before January 1, 2009 are still eligible to participate and participating employees continue to accrue benefit service.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) Pension expense is composed of the following components, included in cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three months ended May 31, 2026 2025 Components of net periodic benefit cost Service cost $ 149 $ 151 Interest cost 659 650 Expected return on plan assets (732) (710) Amortization of: Unrecognized net loss 281 366 Net periodic benefit cost $ 357 $ 457 The Company is required to make contributions to the Pension Plan. These contributions are required under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The assumptions used to calculate the pension funding deficit are different from the assumptions used to determine the net pension obligation for purposes of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Due to the enactment of the American Rescue Plan ("ARP") Act of 2021, plan sponsors can calculate the discount rate used to measure the Pension Plan liability using a 25-year average of interest rates plus or minus a corridor. Assuming a stable funding status, the Company would expect to make a cash contribution to the Pension Plan of between $1.0 million and $3.0 million per year. However, changes in actual investment returns or in discount rates could change this amount significantly. The Company is not required to make a contribution to the pension plan for fiscal year 2027. As the Company's Pension Plan assets are invested in marketable securities, fluctuations in market values could potentially impact the Company's funding status, associated liabilities recorded and future required minimum contributions. At May 31, 2026, the Company had a funded pension asset recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $2.2 million. 14. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, performance-based RSUs or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock. This is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated: Three months ended May 31, 2026 2025 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 25,363,246 25,956,639 Effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock, time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs 157,793 64,608 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 25,521,039 26,021,247 Earnings per share Net earnings - basic $ 0.39 $ 0.38 Net earnings - diluted $ 0.39 $ 0.38 Cash dividends per share $ 0.25 $ 0.25 The Company treats unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share. The Company's unvested restricted shares participate on an equal basis with common shares; therefore, there is no difference in undistributed earnings allocated to each participating security. Accordingly, the presentation above is prepared on a combined basis.

Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash is placed with high-credit quality financial institutions. For the purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash to include cash on hand and in bank accounts. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures accounts up to $250,000. At May 31, 2026, cash balances included $48.6 million that was not federally insured because it represented amounts in individual accounts above the federally insured limit for each such account. This at-risk amount is subject to fluctuation on a daily basis. While management does not believe there is significant risk with respect to such deposits, no assurance can be made that the Company will not experience losses on the Company’s deposits. The Company believes its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to industry and geographic diversification. As disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to cover the Company’s estimate of credit losses associated with accounts receivable. The Company, for quality and pricing reasons, purchases its paper products from a limited number of suppliers. While other sources may be available to the Company to purchase these products, they may not be available at the cost or at the quality the Company has come to expect. 16. Related Party Transactions The Company leases a facility and sells products to entities controlled by a member of the Board. The total right-of-use asset and related lease liability as of May 31, 2026 was $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The total right-of-use asset and related lease liability as of May 31, 2025 was $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the three months, ended May 31, 2026, total lease payments and product sales made to the director-controlled entities were approximately $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the three months, ended May 31, 2025, total lease payments and product sales made to the director-controlled entities were approximately $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The accounts receivable balances as of May 31, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively. 17. Income Taxes The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes of multiple state jurisdictions. The quarterly income tax provision was computed based on the Company's estimated annualized effective tax rate and the full-year forecasted income or loss plus the tax impact of unusual, infrequent, or nonrecurring significant items during the period. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 was 28.0% and 27.5%, respectively. The Company made cash payments for income taxes, net of income tax refunds of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 18. Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies. From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Ennis and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit in Arizona concerning the lease of the former B&D Litho facility that was closed in 2019. The plaintiff landlord generally alleges that the defendants failed to maintain the leased premises in good condition. The landlord sought more than $4.0 million in repair costs and other consequential damages even though the landlord sold the facility without making the supposedly necessary repairs. The Company has denied the landlord’s allegations and is vigorously contesting the landlord’s unreasonable claim. The Court has made a preliminary ruling that defendants failed to maintain the facility’s air conditioning equipment, paved surfaces and roof in good condition even though the landlord had assumed responsibility for some of those maintenance

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 (unaudited) obligations. There was a non-jury trial of the case in March 2026 at which the judge dismissed the landlord’s claim that the Company failed to maintain the premises during the tenancy. The landlord also abandoned some of the alleged categories of damages. The landlord’s other breach of contract claim that the Company failed to surrender the property in good condition remains pending. Initial post-trial briefs are due by June 30, 2026 and a final decision is not expected before the third quarter of the 2026 calendar year. The Company has accrued a liability reserve of approximately $0.5 million related to this claim. 19. Segment Reporting The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis using consolidated net income, earnings releases, investor presentations, and the Company’s SEC filings, as well as through the approval of the Company’s annual budget and forecast. The single operating segment is also the Company's single reportable segment called “Print” and derives its operating revenues from the manufacturing of mostly custom or semi-custom printed products sold mostly to independent distributors in the United States. Independent distributors are responsible for selling the printed product to the end consumer. The single reportable segment derives its revenues by manufacturing print products at the Company's printing plants dispersed throughout the United States. The accounting policies of this single reportable segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The CODM assesses the performance of this reportable segment using the entity-wide revenue and expense information reported on the Statement of Operations and the more detailed expense categories disclosed in the table below. The primary measure of segment profit (loss) is consolidated net income (loss) as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, segment assets reviewed by the CODM are reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Three months ended May 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2026 2025 Segment operating net sales $ 98,615 $ 97,197 Segment operating expenses Product purchases 32,301 30,218 Compensation expense 21,090 21,603 Product supplies 5,907 6,106 Manufacturing depreciation 2,055 2,110 Other product cost (1) 6,179 6,930 Segment cost of goods sold 67,532 66,967 Segment SG&A expenses Compensation expense 11,932 11,585 Depreciation expense 104 130 Amortization expense 2,080 1,944 Other expense (2) 3,392 3,288 Segment SG&A expenses 17,508 16,947 Other segment items (Gain) loss from disposal of assets (10) — Interest income (367) (550) Other (income) expense 230 318 Income tax expense 3,843 3,716 Consolidated net earnings $ 9,879 $ 9,799 (1) Other product cost includes manufacturing overhead and freight expenses.

Subsequent Events On June 19, 2026 the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.25 per share. The dividend is payable on August 10, 2026 to shareholders of record as of July 10, 2026. The expected payout for this dividend is approximately $6.4 million.

Page 28
ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 We are in the business of manufacturing, designing, and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. As of May 31, 2026, we operate approximately 50 manufacturing plants throughout the United States in 20 strategically located states as one reportable segment: printing services. Approximately 95% of the business products we manufacture are custom and semi-custom products, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors, number of parts, and quantities on an individual job basis, depending upon the customers’ specifications. The products we sell include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis®, Royal Business Forms®, CFC Print & MailSM, Block Graphics®, ColorWorx®, Enfusion®, Uncompromised Check Solutions®, VersaSeal®, Ad ConceptsSM, FormSource LimitedSM, Star Award Ribbon Company®, Witt Printing®, Genforms®, PrintGraphics®, Calibrated Forms®, PrintXcel®, Printegra®, Forms ManufacturersSM, Mutual Graphics®, TRI-C Business FormsSM, Major Business SystemsSM, Independent PrintingSM, Hayes Graphics®, Wright Business GraphicsSM, Wright 360SM, Integrated Print & GraphicsSM, the Flesh CompanySM, AmeriPrintSM; StylecraftSM, UMC PrintSM; Eagle GraphicsSM, Diamond GraphicsSM and Printing TechnologiesSM. We also sell the Adams McClure® brand (which provides Point of Purchase advertising); the Admore®, Folder Express®, and Independent Folders® brands (which provide presentation folders and document folders); Ennis Tag & LabelSM (which provides custom printed, high performance labels and custom and stock tags); Allen-Bailey Tag & LabelSM, Atlas Tag & Label®, Kay Toledo Tag®, and Special Service Partners® (SSP) (which provides custom and stock tags and labels); Trade Envelopes®, Block Graphics®, Wisco®, Northeastern Envelope CompanySM, Envelope SuperstoreSM and National Imprint Corporation® (which provide custom and imprinted envelopes); Northstar® and General Financial Supply® (which provide financial and security documents); InfosealSM and PrintXcel® (which provide custom and stock pressure seal documents). School Photo Marketing and National School Forms are a one-stop shop for over 1,400 school portrait photographers and professional photo labs nationwide, providing them with a complete array of products and services that reach over 15 million families and 30,000 schools, primarily in the K-8 market. We sell predominantly through independent distributors, as well as to many of our competitors. Northstar Computer Forms, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, also sells direct to a small number of customers, generally large banking organizations (where a distributor is not acceptable or available to the end-user). Adams McClure, LP, a wholly- owned subsidiary, also sells direct to a small number of customers, where sales are generally through advertising agencies. The printing industry generally sells its products either predominantly to end users, a market dominated by a few large manufacturers, such as R.R. Donnelley and Taylor Corporation, or, like the Company, through a variety of independent distributors and distributor groups. While it is not possible, because of the lack of adequate public statistical information, to determine the Company’s share of the total business products market, management believes the Company is the largest producer of business forms, pressure-seal forms, labels, tags, envelopes, and presentation folders in the United States distributing primarily through independent distributors. There are a number of competitors that operate in this segment. We believe our strategic locations and buying power permit us to compete on a favorable basis within the distributor market on factors such as service, quality and price. Our products are sold throughout the United States primarily by independent distributors, including business forms distributors, resellers, direct mail, commercial printers, software companies, and advertising agencies. Raw materials principally consist of a wide variety of weights, widths, colors, sizes, and qualities of paper for business products purchased primarily from one major supplier at favorable prices based on our high volume of business with that supplier relative to our competitors. Business products usage in the printing industry is generally not seasonal. Acquisitions of new business, general economic conditions and contraction of the traditional business forms industry are the predominant factors in quarterly volume fluctuations. Recent Acquisitions On November 14, 2025, the Company acquired the net assets and business of CFC which is based in Grand Prairie, Texas. Prior to the acquisition, CFC generated approximately $7.1 million in sales for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. CFC specializes in serving a national distributor network with business-document printing and mailing services, offering industry-leading turnaround times and automation. On April 11, 2025, the Company acquired the net assets and business of NEC, which is based in Old Forge, Pennsylvania and ESS, which is based in Hiram, Georgia. The acquisition of NEC and ESS, which prior to the acquisition generated approximately $26.0 million in sales for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, strengthens our production capabilities to serve our customers in the Northeast United States.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 25 Our Business Challenges Our industry is currently experiencing consolidation of traditional supply channels, ongoing product obsolescence, paper supplier capacity adjustments, and increased pricing and potential supply allocations resulting from demand and supply imbalance. Technological advances have enabled electronic document distribution, web-based hosting, digital printing and print-on-demand solutions to serve as viable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional custom-printed documents and customer communications. Improved equipment has become more accessible to both existing and new competitors. We face highly competitive conditions throughout our supply chain in an already over-supplied, price-competitive print industry. The challenges of our business include the following: Transformation of our portfolio of products – While traditional business documents remain essential to conducting business, many are being replaced through the use of lower-cost paper grades or imported products, or are being devalued by advances in digital technologies, resulting in continued declines in demand for a portion of our product line. Transforming our product offerings in order to provide innovative, value-added solutions on a proactive basis requires ongoing investments in new and existing technologies, as well as the development of key strategic business relationships, including print-on-demand services and product offerings that support customers transitioning to digital business environments. We continue to evaluate new market opportunities and niches, including through acquisitions, and to expand our offerings in areas such as envelopes, tags, folders, healthcare wristbands, specialty packaging, direct mail, pressure seal products, secure document, in-mold labels, and long-run integrated high color web print, which provide opportunities for growth and further differentiate us from our competition. Our ability to make such investments or pursue acquisitions is dependent on our liquidity, capital resources, and operating results. Production capacity and price competition within our industry – Industry supply of paper products continues to fluctuate as market conditions influence producers to idle, permanently close, or convert paper machines and mills to alternative product lines. These actions, together with ongoing demand declines in certain paper grades, have contributed to supply constraints and pricing volatility across portions of the industry. During fiscal year 2026, the sole domestic producer of carbonless paper permanently closed its manufacturing facility. In response, we increased inventory levels and developed alternative supply sources. While we continue to transition to these alternative suppliers and do not currently anticipate disruptions to customer service, product availability or product quality, changes in industry supply conditions could result in continued supply constraints and input cost volatility for certain paper grades. In addition, changes in tariff policies, trade regulations and transportation costs may increase raw material, freight and product sourcing costs. Industry conditions continue to reflect ongoing capacity rationalization and pricing actions within certain paper grades. Margins continue to be affected by volume variability in certain markets, input cost inflation and pricing competition. We seek to mitigate these impacts through disciplined pricing practices, strategic sourcing initiatives, operational efficiency improvements and effective management of our manufacturing cost structure. Continued consolidation of our customers – Our customers are primarily distributors, many of which are consolidating or are being acquired by competitors. We continue to maintain a high volume of the business with these customers but such consolidations and acquisitions, which we expect to continue, could ultimately affect our sales volumes and margins. For further information, please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” above and “Risk Factors” contained within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 Critical Accounting Estimates Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026, includes a description of certain critical accounting estimates, including those with respect to the pension plan, impairment assessments on goodwill and other intangible assets, allowance for credit losses and accounts receivable, and allowance for excess and obsolete inventories, which we believe are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. During the quarter ended May 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. Results of Operations The following discussion provides information which we believe is relevant to understanding our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included in this filing. The operating results of the Company for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and the comparative period for 2025 are set forth in the tables below. Consolidated Summary Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Three months ended May 31, Operations - Data (in thousands) 2026 2025 Net sales $ 98,615 100.0% $ 97,197 100.0% Cost of goods sold 67,532 68.5 66,967 68.9 Gross profit margin 31,083 31.5 30,230 31.1 Selling, general and administrative 17,508 17.8 16,947 17.4 Gain from disposal of assets (10) — — — Income from operations 13,585 13.8 13,283 13.7 Other income (expense) 137 0.1 232 0.2 Earnings before income taxes 13,722 13.9 13,515 13.9 Provision for income taxes 3,843 3.9 3,716 3.8 Net earnings $ 9,879 10.0% $ 9,799 10.1% Three months ended May 31, 2026 compared to three months ended May 31, 2025 Net Sales. Our net sales were $98.6 million for the quarter ended May 31, 2026, compared to $97.2 million for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $1.4 million, or 1.4%. Organic sales volume decreased $3.1 million due to weaker customer demand and ongoing industry-wide pressure in the U.S. printing market. This decline was offset by more than $4.5 million of incremental revenues from acquisitions, primarily reflecting revenues generated during periods not owned in the comparable prior-year quarter. We continue to focus on providing our customers with quality products and responsive customer service. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit Margin. Our cost of goods sold increased $0.5 million, or 0.7%, from $67.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2025 to $67.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026. Gross profit was $31.1 million or 31.5% of revenue for the quarter ended May 31, 2026 compared to $30.2 million or 31.1% of revenue for the same quarter in the prior year. Gross margin improvement was primarily attributable to pricing discipline, product mix and the continued integration of acquired operations. Selling, general, and administrative expense. For the three months ended May 31, 2026, our selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $17.5 million compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2025, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.6%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the current quarter were 17.8% and 17.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, respectively. The increase in SG&A expense is primarily attributable to expenses associated with prior year acquisitions not yet fully integrated, along with higher incentive compensation.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 Gain and loss from disposal of assets. The $10,000 net gain from disposal of assets during the three-month period ended May 31, 2026 was primarily attributed to the sale of unused equipment. Income from operations. Primarily due to factors described above, our income from operations for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was $13.6 million, or 13.8% of net sales, as compared to $13.3 million, or 13.7% of net sales, for the three months ended May 31, 2025. Other income (expense). Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 compared to other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2025. Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 28.0% and 27.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was higher than the prior-year period primarily due to changes in state income taxes and nondeductible executive compensation. Net earnings. Net earnings, due to the factors above, were $9.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 as compared to $9.8 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the three months ended May 31, 2026 were $0.39, compared to $0.38 for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share for the current quarter were positively impacted $0.02 per diluted share from our recent acquisitions. Liquidity and Capital Resources We fund our operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities. Our principal cash requirements include payments to vendors in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures, employee compensation and benefits, and dividends to shareholders. As of May 31, 2026, we had a cash balance of $49.1 million. We expect operating cash flows to be consistent with prior periods, and we anticipate reduced purchasing needs over the next several quarters due to our recent strategic stockpiling of carbonless paper inventory. Based on these factors, we believe our cash on hand, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements the next twelve months. Our capital expenditures to maintain our manufacturing facilities are expected to range between $4.0 million and $7.0 million over the next twelve months, consistent with historical spending levels. May 31, February 28, (Dollars in thousands) 2026 2026 Working capital $ 102,769 $ 96,389 Cash and cash equivalents $ 49,082 $ 34,570 Working Capital. During the three months ended May 31, 2026, our working capital increased $6.4 million or 6.6%, from $96.4 million at February 28, 2026 to $102.8 million at May 31, 2026. The increase in working capital primarily reflects an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $14.5 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivables of $4.1 million and an increase in income tax payable of $3.8 million. Our current ratio, calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities, 3.7 to 1.0 at February 28, 2026, decreased slightly to 3.5 to 1.0 at May 31, 2026. Three months ended May 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2026 2025 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 21,232 $ 7,960 Net cash used in investing activities $ (342) $ (30,799) Net cash used in financing activities $ (6,378) $ (11,538) Cash flows from operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $21.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $8.0 million in the prior comparative period, an increase of $13.3 million. The increase was primarily due to $10.6 million less in cash used for inventories and a favorable $11.3 million change in accounts receivables and other receivables, partially offset by an $8.5 million smaller increase in accounts payables and accrued expenses compared to the prior period.

Page 35
ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 28 Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used in investing activities decreased to $0.3 million in the current quarter from $30.8 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily because the prior-year quarter included $34.9 million of acquisition spending while the current quarter did not. Cash flows from financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $6.4 million in the three months ended May 31, 2026 compared to the cash used of $11.5 million in the prior comparative period, primarily due to the lack of share repurchases of $5.0 million. Credit Facility – As of May 31, 2026, we had $0.2 million outstanding under a standby letter of credit arrangement secured by a cash collateral bank account. It is anticipated that our cash, short-term investments and funds from operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund anticipated future expenditures, including acquisitions. Pension Plan – The funded status of our Pension Plan is dependent on many factors, including returns on invested assets, the level of market interest rates and the level of funding. We are not required to contribute to the pension plan for fiscal year 2027. As our pension assets are invested in marketable securities, changes in actual investment returns or in discount rates could change funding status and requirements significantly. At May 31, 2026, we had a funded pension asset of $2.2 million. Inventories – We believe our inventory levels are sufficient to satisfy customer demand, and we expect to maintain adequate access to raw materials to support future business requirements. Recent consolidation within the paper industry and the closure of the sole U.S. mill producing rolls of carbonless paper are expected to create volatility in paper pricing and supply availability. In anticipation of this disruption, we made a strategic decision to increase inventory levels to mitigate the risk of shortages and ensure continuity of supply. We maintain long-term supply agreements with key paper vendors that establish pricing parameters but do not impose minimum purchase obligations. Certain rebate programs, however, are contingent on achieving minimum purchase volumes and management currently expects to meet those requirements. Capital Expenditures – We continue to make capital expenditures for operational maintenance purposes, as may be required. Additionally, we will carefully review and make capital expenditures for additional equipment to the extent such additions make economic sense by improving our operations and not jeopardizing our strong liquidity position. We expect our capital requirements for our current fiscal year, exclusive of capital required for possible acquisitions, will be within our historical levels of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million. For the three months ended May 31, 2026, we spent approximately $0.4 million on capital expenditures that was funded out of our cash balance. We expect to generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to cover our operating and other normal capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Contractual Obligations – There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since February 28, 2026 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements or special-purpose entities.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk Interest Rates From time to time, we are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term financial instruments carrying variable interest rates. While we had no outstanding debt at May 31, 2026, we would be exposed to interest rate risk if we borrow under a credit facility in the future. We may from time to time utilize interest rate swaps to manage overall borrowing costs and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. In addition, a decrease in the discount rate could negatively impact our Pension Plan’s funded status. This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from this discussion based upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our controls and procedures are tested and evaluated at regular intervals to confirm that they are adequate and followed by our personnel to prevent misstatement of the Company’s financial statements. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. Those inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met. Our management, with the participation of our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of May 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries), which is required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a–15(f) or Rule 15d–15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended May 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Ennis and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit in Arizona concerning the lease of the former B&D Litho facility that was closed in 2019. The plaintiff landlord generally alleges that the defendants failed to maintain the leased premises in good condition. The landlord sought more than $4.0 million in repair costs and other consequential damages even though the landlord sold the facility without making the supposedly necessary repairs. The Company has denied the landlord’s allegations and is vigorously contesting the landlord’s unreasonable claim. The Court has made a preliminary ruling that defendants failed to maintain the facility’s air conditioning equipment, paved surfaces and roof in good condition even though the landlord had assumed responsibility for some of those maintenance obligations. There was a non-jury trial of the case in March 2026 at which the judge dismissed the landlord’s claim that the Company failed to maintain the premises during the tenancy. The landlord also abandoned some of the alleged categories of damages. The landlord’s other breach of contract claim that the Company failed to surrender the property in good condition remains pending. Initial post-trial briefs are due by June 30, 2026 and a final decision is not expected before the third quarter of the 2026 calendar year. The Company has accrued a liability reserve of approximately $0.5 million related to this claim.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2026 Item 1A. Risk Factors There have been no material changes in our Risk Factors as previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds At its July 14, 2022 meeting, the Ennis, Inc. Board of Directors authorized an additional $20.0 million in funding for the Company’s share repurchase program that was first implemented in 2008. With this latest funding authorization, the cumulative funds authorized for share repurchases totals $60.0 million. Under the repurchase program, purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Such purchases, if any, will be made in accordance with applicable insider trading rules and other securities laws and regulations. These repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock during the three months ended May 31, 2026. During the three months ended May 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 260,560 shares of common stock under the program at an average price of $19.04. Since the program’s inception in October 2008, there have been 3,127,900 common shares repurchased at an average price of $16.87 per share. As of May 31, 2026, $7.2 million remained available to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the program. Items 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted Item 6.
