Courier Reports Growth in Book Manufacturing Segment

Results in this year’s first quarter included a pretax charge of $1.5 million related to severance and post-retirement benefit costs, as well as a pretax gain of $0.6 million from the sale of certain non-operating assets.

Sales gains were concentrated in Courier’s book manufacturing segment, reflecting the effects of multiyear agreements with key customers in the education and religious markets, with particularly strong growth in Courier Digital Solutions’ customized college textbook business.
