The Compass Report

The Compass Report has been published by Compass since 1989. The Report is mailed each year to more than 2,500 printing company CEOs. It is the only definitive report on mergers and acquisition in the printing industry. The Report constains The Deal Log, a concise compilation of all the transactions for the year. It reports who was acquired, by whom, for how much – and, in some cases, the rationale for the deal. The Report also contains the Income Statements and Balance Sheets for the 40+ publicly-traded printing companies. The Report's charts and graphs compare the relative performance of the public companes and it derives key ratio comparisons for valutaion purposes.

The report is invaluable to those who seek to buy or sell a printing business and especially to company CEOs and CFOs. Compass professionals write articles published as chapters in the Report. These authoritative articles are an important source of information about key industry trends and the economic factors affecting consolidation.

The Compass Report is distributed annually by CCP to printers as a service to the industry. Fax us at (610) 436-4405 or call us at (484) 879-1870 for your copy of the lastest report.
