HEIDELBERG Establishes New Platform for Digital Transformation of Print Shops
Printing industry managers still regard the digitalization and automation of business and production processes as one of their biggest challenges. The entire printing sector is in the midst of the digital transformation and many print shops are searching for solutions that will enable them to put the new technological possibilities to successful use in their business models. Surveys conducted by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) among printing companies in all key markets worldwide confirm these findings.
“Automation is becoming all the more important for the competitiveness of print shops as print runs shrink, the volume of small jobs grows, staff shortages increase, and personnel costs rise ever higher. In this situation, attention is focusing on hybrid print production with an automated and increasingly AI-driven workflow,” says Dr. David Schmedding, Chief Technology & Sales Officer at HEIDELBERG
Postmedia Reports Second Quarter Results
“As one of the largest independent Canadian news media organizations, our strength has always been rooted in our deep connection to communities across the country,” said Andrew MacLeod, Postmedia President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our connection is strengthened by our new editorial mission, which is designed to be a connecting force – thoughtful, uplifting, and bringing Canadians together through informed, meaningful journalism.”
“The results from our second quarter demonstrate the success of our commitment to Canadian communities,” said MacLeod. “With positive momentum in both our advertising and circulation divisions, our investment into Atlantic Canada, through our Saltwire acquisition, has played a pivotal role in achieving these results. As we continue to face an immensely challenging media environment, our dedication to local communities will continue to guide the work we do.” Revenue for the quarter was $110.8 million as compared to $97.3 million in the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of $13.5 million (13.9%). The revenue increase was primarily due to increases in advertising revenue of $6.9 million (16.0%), circulation revenue of $2.2 million (6.6%) and other revenue of $4.8 million (67.4%), partially offset by decreases in parcel revenue of $0.4 million (2.9%). Excluding the impact of the Saltwire asset acquisition, advertising revenue for the quarter increased by 6.0% and other revenue for the quarter increased by 47.7%. Total operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and restructuring decreased $1.1 million, or 1.1%, for the quarter ended February 28, 2025, relative to the same period in the prior year.
