- Australian cards on the table

IG Design is extending its position in the Australian greeting card market with the acquisition of Biscay Greetings, through its joint venture, Artwrap. Along with Artwrap’s previously-announced new major contract coming through, IG Design now has a wide product range and a strong market presence, particularly in the value sector. The deal (not yet reflected in our forecast) is set to complete after the key Christmas trading period. The full benefit will be felt in FY19, when we expect it to be earnings’ enhancing. Last month’s trading update showed good sales momentum into FY18, with the forecast growth and cash generation supporting the valuation.
